Unfortunately, because of my age it is a little harder for me to find a new job, but still, in November I had one interview, this month I also had one interview. Will that be enough? I am really committed to looking for a job, but it is very... — read more
Salary Increases
A friend told me his salary increase. Anyone heard that? Should we be excited about it?
Fiserv! Run by tyrants.
Decades of service. Quality service. Dedication. Only to find out they are creating working conditions to try and get us to quit. No package. Can't collect unemployment. These so called leaders are proving that they are greedy and evil... — read more
Any luck getting into big tech?
Has anyone been successful in transitioning from the tech/project management side of Fiserv to a big tech company (i.e., Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc.)?
Reasons to quit
incompetent and arrogant management 2. lack of opportunity 3. depressive work atmosphere 4. inability to change or modernize any of the processes 5. company culture is all about competing and stabbing each other in the back, not cooperating 6... — read more
Software engineers at Fiserv, what's your salary?
Trying to determine whether their salaries are competitive.
Be persistent
I know a lot of people are worried about being able to find a job at a certain age, but it's not as bad as it might seem. I started a new job a month ago and I am 57. My advice is to focus on networking and to sign up with recruiting agencies. They... — read more
The Plan
As far as I can tell the plan is to move as many C players as possible to the New Jersey/New York area in order to get a tax credit. No regard for employee engagement or retaining talent. I mean it’s a plan, doesn’t scream excellence, but it’s a... — read more
Morale at an all-time low
Frank and his crew really outdid themselves this year. I never thought it possible that morale would reach an even lower low compared to past years. FrankServ will be in the dumpster before 2023 hits.
Who will train new hires?
I think the new hires get more than disappointed, right after they come here. People who have knowledge and skills are leaving and I wonder who will train new hires after they all leave? Fiserv is a complete mess and the level of disorganization... — read more
Test the waters
Not real happy with Fiserv for awhile, so am testing the waters. Just had a first interview. Salary would jump 13%, from 66K to 75K (Benefits package about the same). If you are unhappy here, see what else is out there. Greener pastures.
Brain Drain?
I've seen many highly competent folks leave in the past year in our business. Folks seeing this across the company? Is the company working to retain good people?
Is it bad
For a $200 stock price by end of year, when your stock is downgraded by a rating service
Is it possible to view our payslips outside of FUEL?
I feel like this site has better tech support than our company so i'm asking here... does anyone know if it is possible for me to view my payslips without logging into fuel?
Overworked
I'm on the verge of giving notice, because the more I work, the more they add to my plate. I guess, more or less, everyone here is overwhelmed, and I wonder how you deal with that? Is there any way I can turn down the extra work without being on... — read more
Buildings falling apart
In my building I see bugs crawling along the walls frequently. The restrooms run out of paper towels often and take ages to be replaced, even after being reported. They fired all of our regular cleaning people in favor of some third-party thing and... — read more
My fault
I stayed too long at fiserv because I believed in our mission and I had a great team. Looking back, I bought into a big lie about teamwork and a common cause. The cause was really SVP’s and above making millions while we received trinkets for... — read more
Lincoln not a long-term location
The remaining three Lincoln buildings are slated to be shut down and sold off within a phased multi-year plan. Cue HR's "u have an agenda!!" auto-replies. Am I striking a nerve by leaking out Frank's plan? Try being honest with your associates... — read more
All I want is to keep my job
I love my job and I love Fiserv and if I have to leave because of a mandate to move to NJ it will just break my heart because I have to think of my family and going to NJ will be too stressful, cost a ton more and dramatically reduce our quality of... — read more
Packing up and moving to NJ
Wife said she's not going and keeping kids with her...thx Fiserv! I get to keep my job but lose my family. Divorce papers to follow.
Frank's brother from another mother?

This is ridiculous
I don’t know if it’s more funny or frustrating to me when management starts convincing us that this company is much better than it is. Are they living in an illusion? If the energy to embellish the truth were used to make positive changes here, then... — read more

Pay Grades
Does anyone know the ranges for the pay grades?
There are better jobs for you than this
If I hated Fiserv as much as some of you do I'd be long gone by now. Go! Spread your wings and fly away! There's a whole, beautiful world out there for you to explore and find employment. Staying here and being miserable is only ruining your health... — read more
It's pretty hard to keep your skills sharp here
It wasn’t until I started looking for a new job that I noticed how hard it really is to keep skills sharp here. No matter how hard someone tries, there just isn't much room for improvement and growth. This has not been a learning culture for a long... — read more
Berkeley Heights
Anyone know when the new office will be open? I'm wondering what the plan is to hire our replacements and train them when the office isn't ready yet.
Big move !!!
Today by fiserv. Oh yeah, $200 by end of Q1. Bank it, go Frank !!!
I can't take this stress anymore
Will working at Fiserv ever become less stressful? I feel like we're stuck in this perpetual anxiety/stress/worry mode of wondering if more layoffs/PIPs/something else they come up with to get rid of us is coming the next day or week. It's... — read more
Good results won't last
Fiserv is so deeply dysfunctional that it can't execute even some of the simplest of tasks these days. It might be profitable for now, but it's only a matter of time before that catches up with it. Unless some major changes are made there is a good... — read more
Hilarious
Fiserv is one of the most profitable companies in the world. The repeated comments of “company will go under” are totally ridiculous and show the post have no clue about business or financial math. I get it you don’t like frank, but to equate that... — read more
I thought about leaving, but...
...ultimately decided to stay and take as much of Frank's money as possible. Fiserv has been completely gutted and replaced with a bounce house full of Frank's incompetent leadership. I'm going to ride this clownshow out and laugh as the company... — read more
Job security is gone for good
Think about it. There was a time when layoffs were a way to get rid of the lowest performers. Not anymore. Now, layoffs aren’t based on performance but on meeting a certain percentage of people in a number of categories. That means that it's now... — read more
Come Be a Part of The Park at Berkeley Heights
I have to say, the Fiserv site strategy to build out a state-of-the-art Fintech hub at The Park in Berkeley Heights, NJ is brilliant. I have worked for a number of large companies in my career, and the focus on driving a stellar digital future at... — read more
Bittersweet
After nearly 30 years of service, I will be leaving Fiserv at the end of this month. I have such mixed-emotions regarding this. Over half of my adult life has been spent working for Fiserv. On one hand, I feel as though so many of the positive... — read more
Our CEO is a very stupid man
I'm sure he considers himself to be a business genius while the company burns and lives are disrupted, but he's a fool. His ego is truly shocking.
Good riddance
People who worked in the Dublin office are glad to see their coworkers moving to New Jersey. Good riddance and best of luck with the divorces
I have never been happier after giving notice!
I gave notice. Let’s just say I’m fed up with this company and it’s time for something new. There is no point in staying somewhere where you have been stagnant for a long time or even worse, where you are regressing. What a relief! When I quit in... — read more
Next round?
