Fidelity National Information Services - Great employees in spite of the mediocre Senior Management
Pros
The employees are the best reason to work for Fidelity National Information Services. I am always impressed by the high level of competency that is displayed by the employees and middle managers that I have dealt with throughout the company. The majority of managers and employees are very knowledgeable about what they do and they do it well. The company also has a pretty good work-from-home policy. Although, not all managers have embraced working from home. The 401K is pretty similar to most other 401K plans. However, FIS does have a good employee stock purchase plan.
Cons
Having always worked for smaller companies, I was expecting the benefits package to be pretty good. However, the benefits package is one of the worst that I have personally seen. Premiums almost doubled from my previous employer. The number of vacation / personal days is less than what I had at my previous employer. No bonus/incentive plans. Low Merit increases (typically 3% max) and merit increases were canceled all together in 2008. Sometimes Long Hours - Work hours vary. Some weeks will be 40-50 hours. Others 60-80. Senior Management appears to be out of touch with the employees.
