Pros

... with regards to 401K match and health insurance deductibles, although the HRA was a nice touch. SunGard was acquired by FIS so many of us anxiously waited to find out what was going to happen. The 401K transition was seamless. Not too many immediate changes other than benefits. Mostly a reduction in benefit quality after acquisition. Even more emphasis on meeting numbers, of course because SPS (a subset of SunGard) was being marketed for resale. FIS appears to be a stable and huge company so I would not discourage anyone from working there. I know other people still working there that are happy.

Cons

Got impression that older workers are not valued here because they make too much $$$, based on prompt early retirement buyout offer after FIS's acquisition of SunGard was announced. This resulted in a large exodus of many long-term valuable employees, including me. I took the money and ran. Have not regretted it. Stress levels dropped markedly. It was however painful to see our "family" broken up after decades of working together. But, life goes on.
