Pros

Easy interview, ok pay, ample time to get up to speed with work pace, clear expectations communicated.

Cons

Awful culture, uninspiring office space, frequently received messages about irrelevant new corporate guidelines that never amount to anything, entry level positions (University program) cannot receive promotions for their first two years, severely limiting growth. If you're a recent graduate in software engineering thinking about the FIS university program, I advise you to explore other options. This is unless you're fine with working in any area (such as devops, ML, backend, or frontend), no matter your past experience or interests. After being assigned to a team, you will remain with that group for a period of two years independent of what you want.
