Pros

Decent pay/benefits although a little below industry standard. The coworkers whom are at your level in the org chart are generally good people.

Cons

The managers mostly stick together and focus how to defend themselves when a crisis hits and don't spend much attention on how to make the workplace a success driven culture. The environment is the exact opposite of what any intelligent engineer would want to work at - management imposes a large amount of arbitrary rules (they need to make it seem like they are doing something even when the rules don't really help at all). They dictate technical decisions that are advised strongly against by the engineers. High degree of micro management seen at all levels. Disagreeing with management can lead to punishment.

Pros

The only good thing about this place is they allow flexible work schedules. I don't have anything else good to say.

Cons

This place is a career graveyard. If you want to be at the same level and about the same salary for many years, then you might like it here. Career wise, you will be wasting valuable years that you can't get back. They even had the audacity to take a week of vacation from some Metavante employees after the FIS/Metavante merger. (possible pending lawsuit when I leave company)

Pros

Great people, large selection of technology, fun corporate culture and intelligent executives.

Cons

Many employees have been there a long time, so it can be hard to pick up the job due to lack of documentation. Everyone knows the system so well that it takes time and effort to understand what they are trying to teach.
