FIS Reviews

Pros

Wonderful early career/new graduate program

Cons

Sometimes Lots of change often

Pros

Remote work is possibly the only pro I can think of when I worked for this company. I also did work with a diverse group of people which I VERY much appreciate. These will be the only 2 positives I can give this awful company.

Cons

Absolutely horrendous communication with management. They would act as if they did not have 3 minutes, literally 3 minutes to discuss serious issues with you. Degrading performance reviews, unrealistic expectations and disrespectful management. 5 weeks to "train" employees on 401ks? really? 401ks are incredibly complex and I found it ludicrous that we were given only 5 weeks of training on such a difficult type of work. $19 per hour to take nonstop incoming phone calls, many toxic was disrespectful pay at best. There is no ladder to climb here. You will live paycheck to paycheck your entire "career" working in the retirement plan division. Do not do this to yourself. I could go on and on. I have basically nothing positive to say about this company.

Pros

All of this is from a Worldpay perspective (however I did start after FIS bought Worldpay). -Fantastic group of SCs, and everyone across Worldpay is always happy to help. -The organization is well structured and, once you learn who to talk to, it's easy to find information. -Worldpay leadership actually seems to care about us and fights to ensure we're taken care of. -Competitive pay, benefits, and career growth options.

Cons

Again, from a Worldpay perspective. -Obvious divide between FIS and Worldpay (has felt like two separate companies since I started over a year ago). This is even with multiple "win as one team" initiatives. -The majority of FIS people I've worked with are more interested in what benefits them rather than working together as a unified company and doing what's best for our customers. -FIS leadership seems to do what's best for the original FIS groups which can negatively impact the Worldpay group.

Pros

I have had a lot of medical issues and the team has been understanding and supportive. The benefits are great.

Cons

There can be a lot of pressure at times for client deliverables.

Pros

Work life balance is good. You can go above and beyond and be rewarded for it if you'd like but there is no downside to just showing up and doing your job well.

Cons

Sometimes non traditional hours at work

Pros

The PEOPLE! No matter what level, from entry level to upper management, everyone is willing to help each other out which makes it easy to grow in your role. Super supportive colleagues and the benefits and compensation packages are fantastic! This company cares about its people, and that's an impressive feature for such a large company that can also offer job security in these uncertain economic times.

Cons

Sometimes the workload can get dry by nature, BUT, there is no shortage of opportunities to expand your role. The company focuses a lot on internal promotions so going out and finding some new or unique projects you can help out on for someone on your team or another team entirely, is not only a good way to diversify your responsibilities, but it also pays off in the long-run because upper management notices initiative.

Pros

Interesting work, chance to learn many skills, excellent coworkers.

Cons

It was announced recently that there would be no raises for 2023. My only raise in the last 4 years was a result of a job change. The purchase of World Pay, 4 years ago resulted in a 17 billon dollar loss for the company, however the former CFO of WP is now the CEO of FIS & the former CEO of WP will become CEO of it again, once it is spun off. The cost of the this mistake is being paid by the rank and file employees, not the decision makers.

Pros

The individual people who actually deliver client value are incredible.

Cons

Management & Leadership often discourage value delivery in the shortest time, by introducing more stage-gates & process, delaying decisions, & focusing on metrics (to the detriment of behaviors). Those same managers & leaders are often mediocre at providing inspirational vision & motivation. Top talent is escorted out the door through relentless layoffs or demotivational behaviors from middle level mgmt.

Pros

The Best Group of Folks, Team Collaboration,

Cons

Bury you in unnecessary paperwork

Pros

For project managers: work-life balance (this largely depends on what team, department and manager you are under) great teammates/managers

Cons

No pay raises/no adjusting for inflation the past 2 years No bonuses
