Pros

Opportunities to take on a huge portfolio of work (if you're willing to sacrifice WLB). Make your own career - if you have any ambition or you want a competitive salary, you won't be here too long but you can beef up your resume if you find a way to get involved in (important) internal initiatives.

Cons

Dysfunctional teams across the board - I left in early summer 2022, half the cross-functional partners I started working with in 2020 were already gone, a large majority of the mgmt team for one of two products I supported has come and gone in 3 years, and I've heard through the grapevine it's even more dysfunctional than it was when I left. Tl;dr be prepared for high turnover and a very bad transition if new people come on Pay is extremely low and substandard - I left and more than doubled my salary WITHOUT aggressive salary negotiations. Culture ... it's management by committees and red tape. I can't name a single project I worked on in two years that wasn't escalated at some level. Expect to experience SNAFU every week if you're not the lowest man on the totem pole doing the most basic tasks.

Pros

The PTO offered is nice, but good luck having the time away from your computer to be able to take it.

Cons

I am in the process of changing jobs (I had been on the Vantiv team and been employed here for close to 8 years) and all of my projects were reassigned to folks on the team who have been here for a month at best. These employees also have not been trained so they are being set up to fail. FIS rewards employees that are lazy and asks MORE AND MORE from those that are the worker bees. It is a TOXIC and an ABUSIVE working environment. If offered a job, RUN. Taking a job at FIS would be the biggest mistake you could make. Run like all of the other senior and successful employees have done from Vantiv/Worldpay.

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you appreciated your paid time-off benefits while you were an employee at FIS. As the company continues to grow and develop through a mix of organic growth and acquisitions, sometimes that requires change across various aspects of the organization, including reorganization in business units. Best of luck to you in your career journey.

Managers are terrible, don't care. Only care about what someone above them wants
