Hoping for Much Needed Changes with FIS Merger

Pros

FIS is a global brand and was named as one of the most admired companies by Fortune Magazine. Pay and benefits are good.

Cons

I was working in a very small division of SunGard when the merger occurred. It is a very challenging place to work due to an overriding feeling of apathy, too much middle management and not enough decision makers to actually move forward.

Pros

Large, growing company with a global presence. Average benefits package

Cons

FIS offers below average pay increases for the technical staff in the U.S., although there may be isolated pockets where it is better. Continuing trend to take employment to wherever labor is cheapest. The tools and desktop computers for technical staff are often underpowered and crippled with poorly managed security software. The quality and quantity of coding tools are inadequate. The legacy of a company growing by acquisition is that trying to coordinate activities or find assistance is byzantine at best. Add to that layers of conflicting paperwork that would make the U.S government cringe.

Pros

Secure multi-national corporation that is not going to fail like so many startups. My team is fantastic, a really great group of people including my immediate supervisor.

Cons

Everyone is stalled by corporate red tape crap. No promotions regardless of qualifications if you've worked for FIS less than 12 months. Very poor recruiting efforts in the SF Bay Area so positions go unfilled for extended periods of time and the attrition rate is horrible. Benefits do not compete with other SF Bay Area tech companies.
