I was let go after more than 20 years. I have to ask, why are you still at FIS? It is a tough market and the longer you are there without spending adequate time searching for a new job will hurt you. You already know it is a POS company. C Suite is... — read more
Everyone's leaving
I'm watching more and more people make their exit. One of my coworkers just left for a job that pays significantly less, and he says he's never been happier, and I believe him. Others are just hanging on, waiting for a layoff so they can get... — read more
FIS Buyout is soon
Heard that several companies are circling for merger / acquisition of FIS. This is the reason stock went from 38 to 41 as news was leaked and potential buyers stared accumulating stock from open market. CapitalOne, Visa and Private Equity firm led... — read more
How much should I worry?
There were rumors about possible layoffs next week. How concerned should I actually be?
FIS closes at $41.91 per share
Remember, the 52 week high and low are $37.42 and $82.62. Those are shocking results.
Has the foundering begun?
If Project Dolphin is backfiring and employees are no longer being forced between re badging with a vendor or severance (not enjoying that at all, nope), how will they be able to pay off everyone? The remaining Franklin Templeton legacy staff that... — read more
Digital Banking employees sent offer to rebadge
Digital Banking employees who had previously been given a final day of June 30th, then shortly thereafter extended to August 31st, received a letter this morning asking if they would be interested in being transferred to the third-party vendor... — read more
What's going on with MBP?
Curious to know what's going on with MBP (Modern Banking Platform)? It seems like it got hit with layoffs recently. I've heard rumors about it struggling lately to gain traction as a proven core solution.
Internal Job Opportunity
Since all of the layoffs over the past 6-12 months, I’ve been actively applying for internal and external jobs. I finally got an interview internally, but I’m curious what are everyone’s opinions on what parts of the company would not be worth moving... — read more
The current situation has been extremely difficult, with excessive pressure and a clear feeling of favouritism affecting the overall environment
The working environment within the MBP QA team was disappointing, with unprofessional behaviour and attitudes affecting team morale and collaboration.
Right Skills, Right Leadership
During my time at FIS, I observed instances where individuals with limited technical knowledge were placed in leadership positions over highly skilled resources. It highlighted the importance of having the right expertise and leadership approach in... — read more
Favouritism seemed to outweigh performance
My experience with the MBP QA team was disappointing. Favouritism seemed to outweigh performance, and quality work wasn't properly valued. Despite my commitment and contributions, I was made redundant while others with limited output remained.
Put it on the table
I put it on the table everyday, then on their foreheads while they swallow my salty taint. This company doesn't deserve my genius or talent. I've never worked with such a pool of executive low iq mental mid-ets in my life. I knew DEI hires were a... — read more
Worked hard morethan 15 year in fis
I worked for MBP, including weekends when required. However, I received a sudden call from the TPO team and was informed that my role was being made redundant. I was laid off recently.
Too much unhappiness in Manila office
I came across this site and want to share the situation in FIS. Our office reports to managers in Bangaluru India. The managers are very rude with our teams. They talk very loudly in the team meetings. The FIS Managers lack basic management skills... — read more
Got Riffed this morning
Was invited for quick meeting at 9:30AM for 30 minutes. My manager along with someone from TPO joined the call. RIF terms to be kept confidential. My manager promised me to consider me when some position open, TPO asked me to forward resume to... — read more
This site is popular among FIS employees mainly.
There is hardly any activity on this site for other companies. Looks like this site is popular with FIS employees. Wondering why?
LHH is a joke
They don't offer what I do and their links are broken or don't work in chrome. Come on FIS - like their has to be something better out there.
Age distinction in layoffs
Not really sure why, but did anyone else get one version of the layoff document to sign only to get another on the 9th? The latter added extensive language for preventing lawsuits, client interaction, bad-mouthing company, etc. What I would expect in... — read more
Can we catch a break?
How is anyone supposed to stay motivated when layoffs are constant? There's no stability, no security. All of us are just waiting for our number to come up.
Acronymns
Some participants are fluent in the FIS departmental acronyms, most may not be. It can make posts unintentionally difficult to follow. Including full department titles would be so helpful.
Who moderates this site?
Some posts get deleted for obvious reasons, come less so. Are the Terms of Service (TOS) available to read?
H1B renewals policy change.
Per changes to renewal of H1B visas, the administration has changed the policy. H1B work visas will not have 1.5 years automatic extension, rather the visa holders need to go back to their country. Use this situation in your favor. If FIS is not... — read more
FDE (Forward Deployment Engineer)
Hi, I saw a previous post mentioning that Cognizant's FDE role is intended to automate production delivery tasks. At FIS, there are now internal FDE openings, and some employees are being "encouraged" to apply. You might wonder why I'm asking this... — read more
Newly unified Client Support
This announcement from Kelly Beatty yesterday is curious. Evidently, Scot Yarbrough is heading this. Who is he. Brent LaRosa is leaving, he got the usual performative, we wish him well. Anyone else know more?
TIS modernization
Any info. out there on TIS modernization projects? Some are under review or shortly going on hold, what does that mean for the future direction of TIS?
What happened to the Cognizant Fraud Investigation Post
They are being investigated for US H1B Visa fraud? It is in the news.
We can't tell you
So said a senior leader when the numerous questions from the front line staff about any further layoffs were brought up. Those doing the work are so down and depressed about the circumstances that the managers approached senior leaders to inquire... — read more
Getting worse
After another round of layoffs ( people who worked over 10 yrs have been layed off shortly after they were celebrated by the upper management although there are seemingly a lot open positions suitable). Offshore colleagues are being solely treated as... — read more
Another one gone
Another skilled person gave 2 weeks notice today...another skilled top level Engineering manager gone and multiples of teams left in limbo and at the whim of id--ts. No plan, no resolution, nothing from these clowns. I wish they'd lay me off... — read more
POETS day
Clocking off at 3pm Fridays is a good thing for employees. The email says flexible working which implies that we are expected to have worked 40hrs by 3pm, which is fine, but it is not clear, especially as hourly staff get a paid day off in lieu. If... — read more
FDE member implementing AI in production support
I work in Production delivery team. We have a new team member with "FDE" as job title and is hired from Cognizant Team leadership has been advised to create process documents for all the work and share with FDE. FDE is Forward Deployment Engineer... — read more
Confirmed July layoffs.
I had my manager call me today and ask for my skills and education background. He told me company is again further more looking at skills and determining who should be placed where. He never used the word layoffs or reduction. CIO tower.
Leave early on Fridays?
I don't hate my life anymore!
How does the rest of the month look?
Will there be even more cuts?
Key Accounts
Over the years I created relationships with several folks (all key accounts). When I was laid off, I proceeded to tell them all how FIS instructed me to hide SLA misses and breaches at every available opportunity. I didn't tell them NOT to renew... — read more
What do new people get?
I've only been here a few months. If I get cut in the next round, am I getting any kind of severance or nothing at all?
THE ILLUSION IS BRILLIANT
I highly recommend you research the original WP press release. Read it, then reread it slowly. It’s in the first paragraph. To add to that, Exhibit A Certificate of Incorporation of surviving Corporation. Agreement and Plan of Merger.
Stephanie video
She just dropped a video talking about how in America you have the freedom to compete, about the american dream. Meanwhile, she lays off all americans to hire Indians. That’s SO tone deaf, pure bs
