show appreciation to low end employees
Empower employees. Promote diversity and encourage innovation. I mean really, not just the usual advertising

Become a leadership team. Currently, they are a bunch of short sighted cost cutters.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
take home salary and bonus
medical leave and uncapped vacation leaves
comparable salary to industry. generous benefits package (uncapped leave, personal policies, bonus on company/individual performance)
Finastra offers the best HMO, Insurance and we have flexible leaves
Roles are generally aligned to market rates.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I believe sales individuals should get more of a base.
A salary increase would make me feel better and if overtime was payed
To have a salary and other benefits that fits my responsibilities and qualifications.
The company lost focus on health care benefits and focused a bit too much on EBITDA.
No raises in 2020. Raises differed for months for 2021 and are tiny. Loosing quality talent constantly. Pay your employees market value.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Collaboration and mutual understanding over rotational shifts
nice and professional people. friendly.
It is small and we rarely work together.
Good people, very supportive in all ways

Review from IT Dept
Great local team. The company tries to conflict goals among teams in order to optimize results, but this is not really working.
Review from IT Dept
The people/ teams at Finastra try to do their best, but it is hard or impossible when you don't have the support of higher management
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
People here at full of positive energy
It is Culturally Inclusive environment
There is good work life balance
Open and flexible working space is wonderful. Come as you are, meaning wear what you want.
work from anywhere at any time.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
They need to hire staff so that the workload lowers to normal.
They speak constantly about work life balance and have offered unlimited flex vacation. Too bad there isn't time to take any.
Go public, change corporate culture which is not possible for as long as Vista owns it
Review from Sales Dept
have more company/team social event
Transparency at all levels. There is none of that now. I've never worked for a company where most of my coworkers (including many of the leaders one level above me) have no idea what's going on regarding certain areas of their business. It's mind boggling to me. The lack of transparency is crazy.
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was a fast and interesting process
The people were good and insightful
single day completing all the rounds
Managers were very friendly and asked a good range of questions
The decision was already made.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Extremely long process, CCAT test is outdated concept required by Vista
Review from Sales Dept
allow returning employees to bridge their service
Review from IT Dept
Don't say something that isn't true and have the next person deny it was said.
Review from Sales Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
My work at my desk
Doing the kind of work I love
When I finish before a deadline
Freedom t organise my work (hopefully considering all the responsibilities I have!!)
The freedom to work on the next big thing and to revolutionize the way FI can work.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Company invests in future online banking as a service. That's great, but they've fired all the SMEs that take care if actual customers that pay bills to keep the lights on.
Horrible people culture, no people management, abusive management style. People are scared
Review from Sales Dept
job security is very low, pay is low
There are not enough training for employees.
Review from IT Dept
Compensation needs to be improved a lot. Decision making needs to be improved a lot. Quality of management needs to be improved a lot.
