Pros

Good training program. Large company with room for advancement, and areas for growth. Because Fidelity is privately held, the company is able to avoid the large scale layoffs common to its competitors during down markets. Strong benefits package: 10% annual profit share, and 7% 401k match.

Cons

Average pay is below market for many positions. Although billed as a meritocracy, promotions often go to those with tenure first. Very tall structural heirarchy, built around 'good old boys' network in Boston. Employees not given incentive, freedom, or resources to take ownership or creative stake in company.

Pros

Large company with option of moving to a different group to gain career. Different groups are often like different companies; therefore, having the ability to move between groups is a good way to boost your career. Good compensation structure - historically anyway.

Cons

Very political and bureaucratic. Titles are very inconsistent across business units, meaning a VP in one unit is a director in another. Accountability at the senior levels is weak. Due to frequent re-orgs a senior business leader is often moved to a new area and therefore is not in a position to own the impact of the changes they make.
