Pros

The pay can be very good. It can be a very exciting place. You never know what they might throw at you as a challenge

Cons

Communication from the top down is terrible. We never know where we stand with the company, it is privately owned so there is little information available about how well we are doing. Decisions made by senior management seem cavalier, and they leave it to middle level managers to deliver bad news to the rank and file.

Pros

They do give healthy bonuses and good benefits but all that will go away across the next few years.

Cons

Disorganized, no empowerment of employees, belittling and controlling managers, don't trust skilled people they bring in to do their jobs, micro management, sweat shop.

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.
