Pros

- Excellent benefits (401k matching, discounts with major companies, free portfolio mgmt, etc..) - Great if you want a job that is laid back - A lot of flexibility to move laterally

Cons

- Salaries are not competitive - Boss had very little power in giving reasonable raises because of "company policy" - The work is not as challenging as it could be - Lots of red tape when you wish to use software that is not on the company list of "compliant" software - Business casual dress code forced on software engineers is never a good idea

Pros

Stable working environment and decent 401k benefits. Working location in Boston is very good, right next to South Station

Cons

- Toxic and bullying IT environment - Stupid and long-term relocation policy that alienates all IT workers. - Mostly a waste of time for any young IT professional I have talked to. Everyone left the company within 2 years. If you are a IT professional under age 30 and looking for a career, and not just a job that pays the rent, please stay far away from Fidelity. Do not believe anything they say. I once thought that a peaceful corporate environment would be okay. But I learned how a toxic environment can affect a worker's life and career potentials. It is not going to be worth your time to work in a company like Fidelity. I felt so much happier when I leave the place.
