Pros
Pro: This review is for the former SunGard business that was acquired by FIS a few years ago. -Work Remotely: The flexibility to work from home or remotely is a major perk -People: The boots on the ground (people who actually deliver) are extremely talented and great to work with.
Cons
-Benefits: Unless you live in Florida, the benefits/coverage is mediocre at best. -Career Development/advancement: There is no clear path if you want to get promoted. There are no system in place to help you achieve any career goals -The “Lean” Business Philosophy: heavy workloads spread upon to few resources. -Aging technology: Many of the “Core” products are built using older technology stacks and because of the “lean” philosophy replacing them is going to take forever. This is going to become a real problem in the next 5-10 years when product experts start to retire. Very little real innovation coming out of the company. -Management: Out of touch with the people who actually have to deliver. They want to become a top 100 company but will never get their without real investment in their people. Not just lip service. To the WordPlay people who FIS just acquired, get out now. Everything that was good about your company is going to change. I wish I had left sooner after FIS acquired SunGard
