Fidelity values work/life balance and functional expertise

Business analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

Balancing work and personal life is important at Fidelity; working more than 50 hours per week is rare, and it seems like 40 is the norm. Meanwhile, the health and benefits are great, the 401(K) and profit sharing are top notch, and the monthly employee recognition program is a nice way to relax with your coworkers.

Cons

Internal advancment is slow, especially at the mid and lower levels.

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits and compensation at Fidelity are outstanding. The competency of the work force stacks up well against other organizations.

Cons

In recent years Fidelity has become stagnant. There seems to be no direction. Much of this has to do with the fact that it is now a large corporation with all that entails. Also, as the work force matures, opportunities for growth become more limited. Senior management is also often clueless as they are trying to save their own jobs.

It is better than a punch in the face.

Business Outlook

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.
