Recent staffing data shows 686 new hires alongside 1,236 departures, indicating that the company continues to recruit selectively while realigning parts of its workforce. The sizeable employee base underpins FIS’s payments, banking, and capital-markets offerings for thousands of clients. Talent is spread across a broad mix of technical, commercial, and corporate functions that support the firm’s global operations.

Engineering is the company’s largest team with roughly 11,800 employees, accounting for a little more than one-third of total headcount. Sales and Support (4,600) and Finance & Administration (4,000) form the next-largest groups, followed by Business Management (2,900) and Information Technology (2,600). Operations, Marketing & Product, Program & Project Management, and Human Resources together represent about 12% of staff, while an additional 1,670 employees are classified in other specialized areas. This distribution highlights the emphasis FIS places on technical development and client-facing roles while maintaining balanced support functions across the organization.

FIS maintains a widely distributed footprint. More than 70% of employees are listed under an "Other" category that covers numerous smaller offices and remote staff across the globe. Among individually reported sites, India is the largest talent hub, led by Pune (2,700 employees) and Bengaluru (1,650), with additional teams in Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, and Gurgaon. In the United States, notable concentrations are in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (1,089) and Jacksonville, Florida (884). London hosts just under 400 employees, reflecting the company’s presence in the UK financial services market. This geographic mix illustrates FIS’s strategy of combining regional centers of excellence with a broad international workforce.
