TSYS|Total System Services reviews

- Highly political environment. Your opinion does not count if you are not on good terms with the "in" crowd. In fact if you rub the "in" crowd the wrong way, you are pretty much assured that you stay will be miserable - Lots of finger pointing and blaming going around. Middle management especially is very good at the blaming and pointing fingers and have not qualms about "throwing folks under the bus"! - Constructive criticism is not encouraged, in fact, anything you say might be twisted and construed negatively and you will get reprimanded (constantly) - You have to be very careful when you talk to you team members because you never know when one of them would take your comments and twist them around and relay them to the middle management. - As one of the reviewer's mentioned - you are expected to work long hours and weekends. In fact you have to ask for weekends off. - As another reviewer mentioned - lot of folks are on H1B so they tolerate the "slave shop" environment. - Change is constantly promised but never happens - people who suggest changes are not encouraged, in fact they are constantly put down. - Avoid this place at all costs. I left a thriving career at a great company to come here thinking I could accomplish some changes. Don't make the same mistake I made and I wish I had known about these things before joining.

- Your opinion does not matter. - Your experience does not matter. - Questionable amount of H-1B workers. - Questionable treatment of H-1B workers. - People occasionally have to ask for weekends off. - The technical managers are largely inexperienced and make uninformed unilateral decisions. - Egos overrule logic. Every Time. - Problems are rarely highlighted and corrected. It is an affront to speak negatively about anything regardless of truth, facts, evidence or obviousness. Offering to pitch in does not help. Do as you're told. - Technical people are not involved in important conversations that could save time and money. - Extremely high employee turnover has left very little wheat and a lot of chaff. Many of the technical employees that are left do not have basic computing skills(copying and editing files, running scripts, reading logs) - Google groups, blogspot, youtube, wordpress and countless other invaluable resources are blocked. Searching for answers online is like playing minesweeper. You never know which link is blocked or will flag your internet usage as "inappropriate". - If you stand up, prepare to get hammered down. Overall it is an unfortunate mess. It is a place where almost nothing is designed, planned or executed properly and leaves the capable few bearing most of the burden until they quit from stress.
