Slow moving company with great benefits. Not ideal for software engineers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work life balance. Above average benefits. Good company image and demonstrated success.

Cons

Comparatively low salary. Fidelity claims it is competitive but it isn't. Does not understand technology. Slow moving and not very many opportunities to build a resume with marketable skills. Career advancement can be heavily based on the politics of your team. Very lax interviews causes many of your fellow teammates to be incompetent and unable. Lots of offshore contracting going on. This means you'll be getting up early to talk to your offshore team and hating doing it since of the probable communication barrier.

Pros

Great place work. Nice work like balance. Average use of latest technology. Flexible timings and work from home option.

Cons

Your life here depends a lot on your manager. Raise is bad. Many tech leads are pretty stupid and not fit to be in their position.
