Reverse Merger Happened
My theory on the case is the fact that this ended up being a reverse merger and some ofs not willing to accept that fact. Instead of being angry evaluate if you can get on board, change to new norms of operating (like putting the client and... — read more
OFD...grow up
I read these messages and am floored, disgusted and embarrassed. Let's be REAL...there are/were ppl in both companies that needed to go. No company has the cream of the crop in every role. OFD, if your stuff was so great why did you get bought... — read more
Taking someone else's credit
This is one of those infuriating things that happen here all the time. I have a colleague who does this to everyone. Small or large, he always takes credit from other people who put in a lot of effort into their work. I just can’t come to terms with... — read more
Do you have an EXIT plan?
The way that banking companies lay-off people is very cut throat. No one knows until they let you go, because it is a risk to the company if an employee knows they are going to get let go. I would recommend that you all have your exit plan in place... — read more
Are they just wanting people to quit???
Where the hell is our merit increases. 401k match. Full discount for stock. I’m tired of the stress with less and less pay. Tired of OFD thinking they are solving problems. Fiserv is the worst it has ever been. Went down hill after merging with this... — read more

Work from home
Do you think fiserv will allow work from home after covid? I hear my office in Dublin will close, but I don’t know what that means for my job
Which roles are most useless here?
OK, I would say HR, because they never did anything for me, and I doubt they brought much good to the company either. I may be wrong, but those are my two cents. However, there are so many other useless roles, that I sometimes wonder what these... — read more

Fiserv is NOT a walk in business to end users. Our customers are NOT individuals. Can anyone help me understand why Fiserv continues to spend money frivolously on race cars and "financial commitments to 20 other sports and entertainment venues"? ... — read more

We are a week and a half away from more seperations.
I was told in November that my job was being eliminated and that if I stayed until mid March, I would get a severance. But if I talked about with anyone or left early, I would not. My last day is next Friday so I would guess that there are many... — read more
It’s not that easy to leave Fiserv
I recently met a former colleague who has now found a new job, where he says he is paid better and generally has better working conditions. Still, he couldn’t resist asking about the situation in Fiserv and recounting a few ugly situations. And... — read more
Fisserv is actually working against himself
I feel bad when I see how some people who don’t deserve it at all are more appreciated than some others who work really hard. I know that such a thing is present in most companies, but I do not believe that there is anywhere such an obvious gap... — read more
FB is not a growth leader
FB is not a growth leader he is an expense manager. It's why he was brought in at First Data and why he is leading Fiserv now. The company doesn't have organic growth left so all that remains is to cut expenses to the bone. This strategy works for a... — read more
???? Annual Layoffs ?????

Fiserv has issues with Texas data center
I heard it was Irving and not sure if first data has data centers in Texas as I got out of that place just before the merger. Had to be so frustrating for leaders to pay for DR for years and when it is actually needed, is not ready or takes much to... — read more
Are you paid enough for the amount of work you do?
When I first started working a few years ago, I felt I was paid fairly. However, as the years went by, the pay did not grow with the weight and complexity of my job so I could no longer say that I was satisfied with the pay. At this point in time I... — read more
Did you get a bonus?
I originally got a 4% bonus (lowest since I've been here) with 40% cash and 60% stock that vested over 3 years. Then I got updated info that said it would be all cash. 40% paid out last week, the other 60% should be on the next paycheck. Just... — read more
Great company!
Thinking about the 25% premium pay awarded during the pandemic and then the 10% permanent pay increase for 7,000 associates at a time when most other companies were/are furloughing and laying off! Very proud of FISERV and the entire team!

Where to go from here?

Where do you see potential?
This is no longer a company it once was, but no matter what, it should not be exaggerated that things are worse than they are. I don’t think everything is bad. There must still be some potential left that is untapped. I’m interested in what you think... — read more
