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 ?????
It is annual layoff time and was wondering if anyone has heard where they are cutting this year ?
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?
Fiserv is my first job, I’ve been here for a little over two years, but I’ve already seen how things are in this company and I want to get out of here as soon as possible. What bothers me the most is the toxic atmosphere that is becoming unbearable... — read more
Trending up
I work in the core technology area that maintains the hardware and the hosting platforms. Our stability has increased greatly in the last year. We are using the ITSM model to drive improvements and it’s paying off. Our internal customers are... — read more
Earnings
Beat earnings (fired enough people), missed revenue (customers leaving product). More job cuts coming soon
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

2021
This year is going to be transformational. The groundwork is there to support a $200 stock price. If execution goes as planned benefits such as 401k match increase and ESPP will be fully restored in 2022. Fiserv will soon have the brand... — read more
What's the situation with promotions?
Is it just me or does it seem that all promotions have been put on hold? I was promised a promotion just before the pandemic hit. I've been assured since then several times that it's going to happen soon, but it never does. This is a well earned... — read more
812 accounts disabled over the weekend / this morning
Layoffs starting early? Figured they'd wait until after reviews. Guess they figured they gave us the "not a bonus" bonus, they can start chopping heads.
Just stop
Just stop, alright. Stop telling others how they should or shouldn't feel. There's always two ways to look at things and if people have a legit gripe about their boss, their department, their company, this is America and they have the right and... — read more
Be thankful for a good job! (Many would happy to take your spot)
You know I’ve read this for a while and sometimes find the debates about policies interesting but lately as we see fellow Americans getting laid off, (ironically none at FISERV, and don’t say it’s because people are leaving because they are not —-... — read more
Motivation is all but gone
Things have been going from bad to worse here and my motivation has been following that trajectory. What is there to work for? What is there to give it your all for? It's not as if we're going to get rewarded for it. Whatever promotions are available... — read more

Layoff the stupid old checkfree managers
They should layoff the checkfree managers they really don't know how to run the teams or have no technical knowledge. They just setup up meeting with team members and say he said this about the way it work and you saying something different way of... — read more
Fiserv
Is the greatest fintech in the world by a mile !!!
Looking to work at Fiserv?
Don’t. Been here 6 years, stellar reviews, do everything that I’m asked to do and am a, if not the, top performer on my team. What have I gotten from my efforts? Zero promotions, 2% raises across the board max, and no bonus. Additional work &... — read more
Is this true?
I heard there are serious discussions around selling off the remaining Lincoln buildings. Doesn't surprise me given the realized cost savings - the more important question is whether they will allow impacted individuals to continue WFH or whether... — read more
So disappointed to see what's been going on
I've been gone for a while and stopped by to see how things were these days at Fiserv. It breaks my heart to see that not only has nothing improved, things seem to have gotten exponentially worse (at least judging by posts here.) I know it's hard to... — read more

Back to Layoff Discussions
We have had a year plus of editorial opinions and comments - seems calming down now so let's return this board to layoffs and office closures as it should be. Everyone has made a point.
How much did you actually grow in Fiserv?
The other day I was talking to a former colleague who quit before the pandemic because he could no longer stand the atmosphere. He was a really good and hard worker with a lot of experience and found a similar job very quickly. He says that while... — read more

If I was younger I'd be on my way out
I've been here for three decades and unless they lay me off this is where I'll retire. I'm too old to start again unless I have to. But if I was younger, if this was just the start of my career I'd be out of here yesterday. This is not the same... — read more
Serious question
Sorry, this is not about layoffs but I have a serious question. With pretty much everything being First Data now (software, people, processes, etc.), why did they not change the name to First Data? I'm not asking this tongue in cheek, I'm really... — read more

I left a job for this
A year ago I left my job for better opportunities and thought Fiserv would provide me with the room I needed to grow my skillset and advance my career. What a huge mistake I’ve made. Mildly put, I now regret it. I’m not going to ridicule this company... — read more

Stock discount
While fiserv gutted the employee stock purchase program, what they kept is restricted stock for your bosses. Restricted stock(RSU’s) are shares that they receive that cost them 0 to execute. Meaning their discount is 100%. Free shares to the... — read more
2021
I see tremendous growth potential this year. Leaders with poor skills have been removed and shady behavior is being addressed. Folks, give this place a chance, there is a great opportunity here
To be or not to be? Vaccinated that is................
I for one will NOT be getting vaccinated for Covid-19 just like I do not get an annual flu shot. How will they enforce or not enforce this as a 'come back into the office' plan?
