Finastra reviews

They DO NOT CARE if you built the products, are ahead of the rest of the company, did the job of 7 people, transformed process yrs before anyone at finastra,, or even cost them less money. You will be lumped together and fired en masse. Performance and contrbutions mean nothing. Doing more than the bare minimum at Finastra is akin to working for free.

When D+H was acquired last year, we had no idea what we were in for. It should have been a logical marriage where misys stays on their side and D+H stays on theirs to focus on the markets that they were successful in. Instead it is just chaotic and disrespectful . If you are from Misys and work out of the Paddington office, you will be promoted over any and all D+H people even if you never have worked in the U.S. markets and know nothing about them. They micromanage people to within an ounce of ridiculousness. Any sense of customer caring, creativity or cross-functional collaboration that D+H was built on has been squashed. US workers (the ones that are left and not let go or outsourced to manila or India) are now brainless minions being told what to do for the UK all-knowing untouchables (all departments). The US market is being directed by people who have no idea what it is and wouldn't know how to even interact with a credit union or small bank president. But every month we get a memo about a new Head of this, SVP of that, or some new c-Suite title based out of Paddington while the people doing the actual work are grossly understaffed and there is a hiring freeze. We have lost our personal identities in the process, and lost our ability to feel like we are making a contribution to the company.It's just not fun.
