If you want a place when you do not want to learn then this is the place for you.

Dislikes

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

Office ambience is the only thing I like about Fiserv

Dislikes

Company culture, policies and sapience tool they use to monitor billability of each and every second employee spends on laptop. You will never get good appraisal unless you are favourite of your manager.

Salary is good. Appraisals are always around 10-12%. Direct managers are good.

Dislikes

The recent management changes after first data merger have changed the culture of the company. They have introduced tools like sapience which would track your daily hours on laptop. We are supposed to complete 8hrs in that tool and stay in office for complete 8 hrs. The tool tracks 8 hrs when you actually work 10-11 hrs. So basically your work life balance is gone. No work life balance now.

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

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
