FIS reviews

Do a good job and you get to do other people's job as well. None of the upper management knows anything about software: "Why are there bugs in this software after it has been released?" Groups do not share knowledge - everyone starts over from scratch. Security policies are lax, at best.

The work environment is generally unhealthy and stressful. The pay is not adequate for the work that employees do and the expectations they are to meet. Overtime is often required, for example: for the past 5-6 months employees have been required to work between 4-10 hours of overtime each week, regardless of education, family needs, availability, or any other personal matter. Typically the required mandatory overtime is 8 hours per week. Critical infromation needed to do your job is often not provided, outdated, unclear, or varies based on whom you ask. You may not have paper on your desk. Policy changes, special exceptions and procedures updates are so frequent that opening your e-mail is often dreadful, and searching for an important update is futile. The work that you do is unstimulating and unsatisfying. Grounds for terminating employment literally includes being 1 second late, a total of 10 times in a year. Communication lacks in all areas. Opportunities for advancement are rare and career development is not encouraged. Systems essential to doing your job have frequent outages and are often sluggish, yet silence of greater than 10 seconds is unnacceptable. Meetings and 'Coaching' or 'One on One' sessions are generally uninformative and useless.
