It is better than a punch in the face.

Pros

The money, especially bonuses in my experience exceed the market. The base salaries are about on par. There are a lot of good benefits beyond 401k and health care. There is supposed to be a work / life balance at Fidelity, but like so many other things, it is very inconsistent from manager to manager and business unit to business unit.

Cons

The company has institutionalized the acceptance of failure at worst and mediocrity at best when it comes to IT Projects. As a software professional, it becomes frustrating to work furiously at solving every type of issue besides the technical. Front line managers are ill equipped to manager software professionals, they are either bad developers promoted to the point of incompetence, or just do nothing know nothing MS Project jockeys.

I enjoy working for Fidelity

Pros

The people are good. I really enjoy the overall culture of the corporation. I have also found that some internal departments go out of there way to support their employees. Though this tends to be ‘department’ specific, I love the fact that Fidelity allows this. Overall Fidelity is a great place to work!

Cons

Pay is sometimes on the lower side. Also since things are departmentalized so much, sometimes you don’t feel as connected to the overall picture. Sometimes you get locked in your own world and it’s hard to see how you relate to everything else or to other companies within Fidelity Investments.

Fidelity overall Good. Needs a long term senior management plan

Pros

Great company to work for with plenty of coaching and feedback. There are great benefits and employee perks that are company wide. Fidelity is also fair in their salaries. They are generally above industry standards.

Cons

THe downside of FIdelity is that the company has an ever changing senior managment. With each change the company vision is augmented slightly. This can be difficult as an employee since the direction of the company is not clearly defined on a long term basis. T Senior Managment does quite a good job communicating the changes to employees. Due to the change of Managemejnt there are also changes to the job descriptions without an appropriate salary and compensation review for that particular job.
