Pros

Fidelity used to be a great place to work.

Cons

Over the past two years, some of the amazing benefits fidelity had to offer have been taken away from associates. These benefits included Overtime Incentives, tax season incentives, daily in office lunch allowance ($10), daily in office self development time, work from home (75%). All of these amazing benefits I’ve listed above have now been taken away. Fidelity always had a lower salary offering than its competitors but in turn offered more perks and benefits than its counterparts. It made fidelity a great place to work if you wanted work/life balance. Now, I do not see a benefit for working at fidelity l for decreased pay and similar benefits to other company’s. Do not reccomend working here as over the past two years management has changed their way of thinking and they no longer value the associate experience.

Working Here Will Turn You Into an "Accidental Diminisher" (See the book Multipliers)

Pros

They pay OK and top-level management seems to have the right goals. Bonus's are basically a complete crap shoot because performance is likely to be evaluated by someone who doesn't understand your role and who has failed to set concrete goals or provide guidance.

Cons

Culture is extremely negative, especially within the Personal Investing group. There is very little accountability for either management or other co-workers, and very little transparency into how to accomplish the goals of your job. Priorities shift like the wind, since concrete goals are rarely established.
