Fiserv System Administration Specialist 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

Salary is good, rest everything is hell. I would suggest choosing life over money. Life is more important than money.

Dislikes

I strongly advise against joining or rejoining Fiserv, no matter how attractive the salary offer may seem. This company mandates 8 hours in the office and imposes 8-hour screen monitoring tools on laptops, making life unbearable. While they might offer you a higher salary, remember that no amount of money can compensate for your freedom and well-being. Choose life over money. I made the mistake of rejoining this organization, and it felt like I was walking back into prison. The work culture, especially in the Digital Banking unit is toxic and riddled with office politics. If you are considering joining the RXP or CFN UI projects, be prepared to say goodbye to your personal life - you'll be entering a world of constant stress. I was part of the Pune team, and it was the worst experience I've had in my career. Many people there have been with the company for over a decade, and they wield their seniority through dirty office politics. The Product Owner in Pune was tough to work with - the worst person I've encountered professionally. Every day, I was under immense mental stress due to the toxic environment. To make matters worse, they judge you solely on your knowledge of their products, ignoring your technical skills. My advice is to prioritize your mental health and professional life even if the salary is good. Do not join this company. Life is more valuable than money, and freedom is irreplaceable....Read More

Less work for new joiners. Average hike is better than service based companies.

Dislikes

Most of the employees are working for more than 8-10 years. They have their friends group who get better hikes and promotions. Especially those who discuss stock market with managers. Management is worst in terms of delivery- they don't know what to deliver and when to deliver. Core banking products and management both are worst especially deposit solution group. Unnecessary 5days 9 hours office policy. Legacy products which do not have much future. Do not join this organisation....Read More

Too much of micromanagement. U have sapience on which u need clock 8 hrs for that u need to work atleast 10-11 hrs. The technology stack is very old. U don't get to learn. The managers here are very inefficient. They expect u to b available 24 hrs. They will evn call u at odd hours almost everytime. The brand has lost its goodness. Very less employees will say this is a good company. If possible please don't join...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
