It's been almost a year since I quit Fiserv and joined another payment company from S&P. I earn much more than in Fiserv (34% increase) doing less and come to office no more than twice a week. And this is all about pros. Other aspects are much worse than in Fiserv. Do I regret? No. Would I stay in Fiserv for more money? Yes. But I only know it now. The grass is always greener on the other side. Fiserv is a good place for ambitious people who like to thrive and work under pressure. If only they could get rid of some lazy folks in Irish Technology and Product Management, I would be happy to come back.

@c7+1jgk5sk8a you were at a better part of Fiserv. There are a lot of mo--ns in software development in my department.
@h2+1jgk5sk8a Europeans are lazy and entitled but at least while they barely have jobs there, they have health care and vacation.

Guys, I guess you cannot compare Fiserv US to how this company looks in Europe...
Since you’ve left there has been a tail spin of data analytics attacking employees and make them fearful for our livelihood. Bonus pool is on the chopping block with the sapience and badging data now! Get ready for a slashing. Warn the family now the company is going to sc--w you over. Don’t take the weekend or after hours calls.
It is while how great a lot of the “lower” level people are at Fiserv and how it feels like leadership is almost intentionally trying to ruin things.
So exactly like Fiserv except they hire people.
I do meaningless things. Tech stack is worse than in Fiserv, people are less qualified and don't care, a lot of legacy, poor business with no idea about modern fintech products, org structure keeps changing, they hire new people and then realize they don't need them or move them to other departments, crazy working hours of some regions. Basically not much satisfaction apart from money.
“Other aspects are much worse” what other aspects specifically? You’ve given multiple real reasons why it’s better and just a vague handwaving as to what’s worse
