Pros

The compensation is good. Overall stability has been good. Very few times have I seen layoffs that weren't appropriate. I have seen some good people let go as well, but usually it was trimming the not as productive people. FIS low level management is great. They work hard to allow for time off as needed for pesky errands or family situations. Managers understand how hard we work and usually give us the benefit of doubt on those areas. Overall I am pleased to work at FIS, just think the company could be much better like it was in the 1980's and 1990's.

Cons

The management team is way over compensated. Their decisions are either so easy a cave man could do it or they screw up a decision so badly, you really wonder how they got to the position they are in. The customers are now driving the show. Management let's the company get pushed around because the just want to say yes to the customer (banks) on any request b/c they know the employees will bend over backwards to get it done.

Pros

Nine years of complex engineering challenges and professional growth. Strong camaraderie with talented colleagues across various engineering teams. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects and scalable infrastructure. Gained significant experience in complex system architecture and troubleshooting.

Cons

Abrupt end to a nine-year tenure without adequate transition or transparency. Heavy reliance on an aging, legacy tech stack that hinders innovation. Contradictory AI strategy: leadership mandates aggressive adoption while refusing to fund the necessary compute and tools for teams to actually implement it. Extreme short-term focus on EPS maximization at the direct expense of long-term stability and product health.
