Fiserv Software Developer reviews

Fiserv is a holding company for many divisions that have no history of working together. Current leadership can't bring these separate silos together, so there is a lack of team work, communication, and even vision for the company. This is especially true for the technology department. Management in our office (NJ) is incompetent. Many jobs are being outsourced to India or Philippines, so job security is always in doubt. A few other cons: - pay is less than other companies in the area... They don't account for living in the NYC area. - bonuses are insubstantial - raises are rarely given - promotions are even rarer

Company politics suck and take up at least 40-50% of my week, and I don't get to focus on developing and writing code. Instead, I spend my time justifying my projects, giving updates, and justifying my projects again. Recently after spending 4 weeks working on a project that had been approved by the director, it was cancelled with no explanation. I just want to work -- not play politics. Because of the tough atmosphere, it's hard to grow and move up in the organization unless you're a personality type A person who is willing to play management's games. I do not recommend!
