Don't understand why people like this place - Anonymous employee Fidelity Investments Employee Review

The benefits are good by 1946 standards but not 2026. 401k match doesn't start until after 1 year, and then takes an additional 5 years to vest. 23 days of PTO (vacation+ sick) with an absolute unwillingness to negotiate. The worst holiday schedule I've ever had. Base pay is abysmal for a company with trillions of dollars. Plus, the recent announcement of a mandatory full-time RTO when every team is distributed across the globe is so antiquated and so thinly veiled of "collaboration is better in person." We all know it's either about control or trying to get people to quit to avoid layoffs.
