Pros
Good Work / Life balance
Cons
Since FIS bought Worldpay and replaced our previous ways of working and senior managers, the culture has become toxic. The focus has moved from delivering excellent products to our customers and supporting our engineers, to cost-cutting and compliance. Regarding cost-cutting, the company is treating engineers so very badly in order to force them to leave and be replaced with cheap unskilled labour in India. Just a few examples (I have lots more): removing the engineers training budget, no bonuses or pay rises in 2021 (after spending ~1 Billion on dividends and share buy-backs) or not promoting or giving pay rises to our graduates after HR promised it to them when they started the graduate programme. We have a low trust environment, where teams have very little say in how to work or what technologies to use. Treating engineers like code-monkeys with different external groups of "expert" enterprise architects telling them how to do their job. This is enforced with a system of "extreme bureaucracy", with products being audited 3 or 4 times per year (as the teams in charge of them cannot be trusted). To summarise, Worldpay was a decent place to work before FIS. Right now is once of the worst places to work in UK as an engineer.
