I’m a relative newcomer who joined just in time to be constantly under surveillance and overworked. If I had known which direction Fiserv was heading, I would have never taken the job. Now, with the job market the way it is and the economy on shaky ground, I’m afraid to quit. But at the same time, I have very little free time to dedicate to a job search. The people at the top are making sure this job consumes all of our lives.

e9+1jn6nd2n8 That is correct. Open to work badge looks desperate. Setting the flag on is enough. Any job may be an upgrade but be careful you don't jump into a shithole like JP Morgan or a bank who are all devoid of management skills and non meritocratic bullsh-t ponzi factories for their stock price.
@as+1jn6nd2n8 I got another offer elsewhere last month but turned it down. I learned other companies are just as sh---y because Finance and fintech is going down hill.
Even if you work on your skills in your own free time, you don't get an opportunity to do anything useful with them at Fiserv. So my advice is to transfer to another type of company that actually values growth and innovation.
Do not give into that "I don't have time to get myself out of here" mentality. There are 24 hours in a day. Make time. Do your required hours and not a minute more. Dedicate time, even if you can only do weekends, to look for jobs. You can set your profile on LinkedIn to let recruiters know you're open. And no, it's not that "open to work" badge on your profile. Tap into your network and let ppl know you're looking, since that's how so many are finding jobs these days. Don't give this company any more time than you have to to stay off the list. There's literally no reason to go above and beyond. Do enough to get by and do everything you can to get out.
If the 1% merit is true, this is not a good sign. Means they are desperately trying to hit the quarterly numbers by inflating the stock price with massive buy-backs. They will need to cut even more staff to continue to make the quarterly numbers. Poor past decisions are starting to catch up. Seems like the competition might be in the same boat…
Bh ,non stop noise, managers all talk and no work 9 hours 5 days in the office and fellows paid 3k to 0 annual bonus, this place is indescribable, old shirty products, get ideas from stripe, adyen and new modern companies.
Next is merit increase, 1% increases
I can’t believe anyone applies to work at Fiserv anymore. The ratings speak for themselves.
Hi there! Recently joined Fiserv. Been here for less than a year and am already going through the interview process with other companies. Trust me. If you want out of here bad enough you will make it happen. Truly sad to leave as there is so much talent and potential here being wasted on such a poorly operated company
seriously, not worth working 9 hours 5 days, and get 3k bonus , after working whole year.
Legacy products, high expectations and 0 reward, a few folks signed off yesterday from BH legacy product, rest will follow soon. the markets in NJ/ NYC pay as much as the pay as performance bonus. not sure what kind of company this is.
Prepare your exit, take any trainings they offer, and update your resume. We can do this!
Did you read the reviews before accepting the offer?
