TSYS|Total System Services Senior Software Engineer Reviews

Pros

- Career growth - good yearly compensation

Cons

- No flexibility for working hours - Long working hours

Pros

* Fast paced environment with a large company to get good work experience * Decent benefits package and time off * For the most part management is easy to work with and respond well to private issues * Regular performance reviews and pay increases (still not in line with other companies though) * Excellent termination package * New design pattern are fairly quickly integrated into the apps

Cons

* Says they are very open about company future and earnings, but then let go many senior and high paying jobs to save money. * Will promote you and then give you more work than you can complete * Will change job responsibilities but won't increase pay * Pay cuts during covid took a long time to be reinstated * They clearly care more about upper level exec salary than your own * Don't care about seniority and will let you go if it will save them money * Disciplinary process messy, unclear, and unfair * Senior developers here basically need to also find time to be managers and do more work for less pay than competitors * Pay system is unfair, more work for less pay the longer you work here. * Chaotic and error prone way of integrating every single new design pattern that came out (most developers do not know how it works but business wants solutions fast. there was not good communication with the business about what developers were changing in the app, lots of bugs missed and time wasted learning new design patterns that didn't really yield positive benefits to the business, good for developer knowledge though)

Pros

The work life balance was great. There were opportunities to continue your education and develop professionaly.

Cons

The company needs to allow employees the opportunity to use new developed skills. The company was bought out and some of hte core principles changed.

Pros

Management is intune to the company and your success.

Cons

Short staffed, so there are long work weeks at times.

Pros

Good co-workers that care about their clients and their jobs. Good place for those that want to stay at one company for 30 years. Got bought out by Global Payments, so some things are changing. Decent benefits, 401K match to a %. Columbus is 2nd largest city in GA, but still small town vipe,

Cons

Middle management still has "Good ol'Boy" mentality. But hopefully, that will change under Global Payments. Not much room for advancement. Raises and promotions are rare and usually given to a select few. Morale in some areas is very low and ignored by management. Pay is lower than in major cities because there is almost no competition in Columbus.

Pros

Job security, work life balance

Cons

Lower compensation, no relocation support if needed

Pros

Opportunity to work with many great minds. Freedom to experiment. Freedom to fail. Try new technology. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Nothing that should stop you from working at this organization. Not very well known considering the fact that it is one of the largest payments processing company.

Pros

TSYS is full of team members that want to make a difference. Most of the people that I know here are very friendly and have great attitudes. They're trying to transition to performance based raises so high performers really are rewarded.

Cons

Some divisions (not all) appear to be losing sight of a healthy work/life balance. This isn't company wide, but something to be aware of. The same division also has promoted unhealthy competition between teams. It makes for a hostile work environment when we're working to out-do each other instead of working together.

Pros

- Friendly coworkers of all skill levels who are always open to collaboration - Management took a sincere interest in what projects I wanted to work on and skills I wanted to develop - Lots of interesting new projects right now that use React and React Native, great time to get in - Breaks up work cycle with events for watching conferences about modern technologies for the sake of learning, team appreciation events just for having fun

Cons

- persistent issues with network security settings blocking necessary API calls and tools, lost a lot of productivity to it (but they're working on it) - Intermittent compliance training mandated by corporate is pretty boring

Pros

- Progressive technologies - fast advancement - "work-life" balance - lots of technologies (old and new) to explore and grow for professional gain

Cons

- work-remote opportunities are sparse and inflexible - management is stiff about office presence instead of finding suitable work-arounds for people with challenging situations - turnover is excessively high: in the last 12 months, 8 people hired in my department and only 2 remain, not including me. - infosec is not trusting of development, so research and hotfix resources are limited - on-call procedures are not well-defined, so 2am problems are more problematic due to everyone on the phone with their hair on fire and no idea what to do
