- There is still some incumbent staff from both legacy companies that feel entitled in their roles, simply because they have been here a long time. DH/HFS/Misys were great companies at one point and nobody seeks to discredit that. The pace of technological innovation in this space requires a FinTech's employee base to be at constant level of discomfort. If you are not willing to keep up with the change, then its perhaps time that you seek a different industry.
- Mergers suck. Everyone knows that. Systems, departmental integration, layoffs, etc. those are minor inconveniences relative to the grand strategy/vision. If you want to operate in a world where your job/environment doesn't change and you are simply cranking out the same lame tech year after year, go join FIS/Fiserv/JH.
- I've seen people complain about jobs being shipped to India. This is a global company that operates under global economic environment. If you and your job become a commodity, then not only should we outsource it to cheaper labor markets, it's the right thing to do for both America and the world. By doing so, we force american laborers to produce more value to a point where its impractical to go anywhere else.
