Mr. Walton was the CRO for Fiserv pre-merger. Then one day he just disappeared. Does anyone know what happened to him?
Irrationally anxious
I can't shake this feeling of dread even though logically I know nothing major is happening this week. I guess Fiserv finally broke me.
Are we the next Enron?
FB now ML ... leaving with a lot of cash ... what's next?
Why three Vice Chairman's???
We now have more Vice Chairman's than business leaders - we have a Chief Growth Officer who NEVER grew anything ever and a Chief Performance Officer who presided over the largest DECLINE in performance in the companies history. You can't make this... — read more
America 250 Comm?
What’s with the absence of a comm for the 4th? You would think our leadership would push out a message to commemorate this milestone for the USA, being that we get one for every other holiday
Change In Office Policy RTO WFH
Is there going to be a change with the full time 5 days in office policy or not what is with the constant decision making delay and teasing about changes. Absurd policy.
Fiserv closing West Des Moines Data Center
Just heard through the grapevine Fiserv is consolidating Data Centers and closing West Des Moines and moving to John’s Creek.
Hiring practices are wild.
With all the H1Bs and outsourced roles (totaling millions of jobs), no wonder the job market is “down”. Not to mention, I know several people in office who got their children internships and full time roles here. This cr-p is ridiculous and all... — read more
Fiserv in a nutshell
Rolling out AI into servicenow when servicenow still has ongoing performance issues. Rolling out more and more rules and enforcing with a heavy hand when we don’t have enough associates to meet deadlines with the current rules.
who is this dude who just joined to run tech?
self proclaimed transformation agent, from GBT American Express travel. A travel website? To running all of tech for a top fintech? Another bad decision by Lyons that now we all have to live as he's on to the next company to tank. Mike's short... — read more
AI is "the golden hammer"
And this is how you know Fiserv has no high level technical leadership. To the CIO, you who have any experience and worth are also a nail to hit down. There are a few government contracts, but the company and products will predictably become... — read more
What's it like working in the Omaha NE office?
Got a job offer to work there. What's the culture like in that office?
The WOW moment leaving
I used to like working at First Data for the most part. When frankserv took over it went downhill fast for both companies. There was constant frustration, ridiculous policies and mismanagement. I have been out of this place for a few months now. My... — read more
Stinkin' Fiserv Lincoln

Dear Fiserv Executive Leadership: Measure Outcomes, Not Office Attendance
Fiserv has an opportunity to modernize how it thinks about work, productivity, and employee accountability. The return-to-office model is being sold as “collaboration,” but for many employees, the actual workday does not support that claim. A large... — read more
Protect yourself
I've learned that when you go above and beyond for a company that sees you as a number, you're only hurting yourself. They won't reward you or remember the extra hours, the extra effort, and the extra stress you put yourself through. None of it... — read more
Corporate everywhere totally lost all understanding of what managers are supposed to do
AI fraud salesmen have c-suites thinking that people managers are redundant and everyone will need to be at least half focused as an individual contributor. With the growth of complexity across business and the number of tools, regulations... — read more
they finally sold the planes
and fired 8 pilots plus support / maintenance staff. Why on earth did it take so long? Only just did it these last few weeks?
Too many managers
It was said before and it needs to be repeated. Our management levels are bloated and need to be thinned out. Layoffs are needed, but they keep targeting the wrong people. Focus on managers who do nothing and we'll be golden.
Lawsuit from small credit unions
Yesterday judge allowed lawsuit to advance against Fiserv. Massive F*up by DW under his Product watch!!!! And, he gets to keep his job!!? So motivating to work for Fiserv promoting these losers!
Hostile work environment
Worst culture. No ethics. Body shaming, talk bad about other cultures, harassing juniors, contract workers, women. Comment bad in front of others about their skills and work. No appreciation at all. No satisfaction. Even if you work 9+ hours at... — read more
Gotta hand it to him...
Frank was a miserable little criminal troll. Mike had the personality and warmth of a snow pea. Takis is pretty personable and has said the right things. I don't like the idea of not automatically replacing attrition, but nothing has changed in that... — read more
A friendly warning
If you're planning to leave (and who isn't, right?) here's some advice from someone who's been around. Pay and title matter, but culture and environment matter even more. I focused too much on the first two and ignored the rest. Don't make the same... — read more
FIG and Dhivya is a mess

Does Takis Support WFH?
BisigSCAMno destroyed the company and made this place miserable to work for with Sapience and mandated in office hours, minimum 9 hours a day, five days per week. Mike Lyons brought back some sanity by offering flexibility with pool of remote work... — read more
It's been a week
Now that the passions have settled, can we have a normal, objective conversation about what we can expect from Takis? Not oh, he's the worst or he's the best rhetoric of the past week, but let's see what he actually brings to the table and how it'll... — read more

Relocating from BH to Atlanta
Relocated for the job, but I see its too expensive to buy homes etc here, if I request to be transferred to Atlanta, will they retain the NJ pay or lower it? As it is long hours, ok pay, no increment, no bonus, job market outside is worse!
Takis is positive for the organization
Takis is probably one of the best known fintech talent. Grew JPM from 7 people to 15K people & 20 billion revenue run-rate. Probably the best we could hope for. Not sure why Mike Lyons got the CEO role in the first place — he clearly has no clue... — read more
About time to clean out remnants of SW wrecking ball crew
Fiserv cannot afford to keep ineffective, incompetent, inexperienced VPs! Waste of $$$$. They warm their seats, collect a nice salary and add no value. Their staff runs the ship without them - why keep them?? Their resume speaks for themselves - no... — read more

Chewing fingernails
Saw this in a client meeting. Won’t miss the nervous ticks, let alone figuring out how not to shake hands!
For Sale
Time to hang a For Sale sign in the window. We’ve heard speculation for years about selling off parts but why not the whole thing? Even if it’s parts to multiple buyers.
what does it take to get bought out
serious question.. given the stock price, people being pushed out, nepos in management, no real long-term plan, etc., can we be bought out by another company?

It's amusing reading all this speculation when we all know deep down that nothing will change. The same thing that always happens will happen again. We'll see more layoffs, more outsourcing, more "do more with less" rhetoric, and more of the same for... — read more
