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.

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
