Pros

FIS is a large organization with a diversified product and service portfolio capable of surviving dips in the market. The company tends to pay employs the market rate for their skills. By and large people seem affable. If you just need steady work (not a career), this is a great place. Of all the jobs I've held, I've probably put the least amount of effort into my role at FIS, and whether I put in 50% or 100% I'm percieved and rewarded the same way. There are no ethnic, sexual, racial, religious, or other biases. The company is very diverse, and people respect one another's differences.

Cons

This is not a company that will invest in an employee; except for online CBT courses training of any kind is non-existant. The company just limited it's tuition reimbursement to $2,000 per year with a life time cap of $8,000. I rarely if ever see employees recognized for going above and beyond, and poor performers seem to flourish flying under the radar. This is not the place for someone with real talent and ambition. I've seen some really well intentioned folk poor themselves into their job just to see their best efforts ignored. I find truly talented and driven people either get frustrated and leave or "check-out" mentally. In my division, managers are not technical. They struggle to develop scalable and deployable software. I find managers making the same mistakens repeatedly often acting on instinct rather than experience and academic knowledge. Business analysts, support, and testing staff are very poorly trained often hired based on banking knowledge rathern that job specific skills, education, or experience. The company has a strong programmer base but lacks architectural expertise, which leads to an inability to design systems instead focusing on constructing them.
