Pros

Good stable growth industry to be a part of.

Cons

Senior execs are short-minded and looking for any easy payout Lots of corporate politics Executives from two merged companies (FIS and Metavante) each have differing agendas. Executives are also a bunch of clowns out of the office and not what you would want to see from people with families at home... The company decided the workforce was aging so they hired hundred of college recruits over the past couple of years. It is amazing how incompetent the majority of them are. Mostly based on looks. The whole company has turned into a highschool with different "cliques"

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.
