Fiserv Senior Systems Engineer Reviews

Likes

I like the people I used to work with in this company. Very few are left now with constant layoffs every quarter.

Dislikes

This was my Dream company when I joined. But after the merger it has become FirstData internally only the name of Fiserv has remains. They FD mgmt stratergically removed all the Fiserv mgmt or made them to quit. All the upper mgmt now in the company is just old time colleagues of each other mostly from JPMC. So, there is hell for you if your mngr is bad. Too much micromanagement. Every day Sapience required for 8 hours. you require to be 12 hours ahead of computer to meet the same. 5 days in office, they monitor badge-in and badge-out required to have 9 hours. All the talented people already left or layoff. No help available. If you are not one of the boot-licker forget about promotions. No on-site opportunities, as company don't want to sponsor visa's anymore....Read More

Fiserv is a place which thinks minimal of its employees. Worst work life balance they have a tool which micromanages you and your task. Job security is really bad they just fire by saying does not have project requiremt and will not try to reallocate you if there product is closing .

Nothing - Just that it gave me a job and because of that I am able to pay my bills.

Dislikes

The list goes on and on 1) SAPIENCE- A tool that is supposed to calculate your productivity but is actually something because of which people are most unproductive 2) They are not running a company but a school where you need to reach office at a certain time and stay there for 8 hours, even if there’s not much to do 3) They cannot accept the fact that we have a life outside office and we are expected to be available even after office hours 4) Very less hike and 1 promotion may take atleast 4-5 years 5) No interesting or challenging work, you will not learn anything. Just follow the preset rules. No place for innovation and effort. 6) No value for efficiency....Read More

There are frequent events to meet peers and express our curriculum and Non-curriculum skills and too many forums find like minded people.

Dislikes

Work life balance is not respected. I lost the respect for the work I do, due to repetition and not challenging enough. Managers and directors are powerless to speak and act as company bouncers. Lay off parameters are total nonsense, results in zero job security. Everthou there are too many forums to peer engagement, there is not enough knowledge and interest at directors level to value that contribution....Read More

Offered good ctc, no more work.

Dislikes

There is sapience tool track the actual working hours and management ask for complete 8 hours in sapience. To complete 8 hrs in sapience needs to work at least 11-12 hrs. No technical growth. Most scaring is layoffs. They did 2 time layoff in one year. Don't join this company.

My project is good so the work is a bit satisfying but most projects are not very good .

Dislikes

Excessive workload with high expectations from employees, but inadequate training is provided. The working hours are rigid, and the leave policy is very strict, with no option to work from home even for a day. Employees are often expected to work for a few hours from home while on leave and be available on weekends. The pay is not competitive, and the hike policy is not favorable, making it essential to negotiate with HR during the offer stage....Read More
