Pros

Very good competitive compensation and benefits package. Interesting and challenging work. Reasonable work demands in most departments.

Cons

Fidelity is highly political. Basically no matter how high the quality of your work is, if you are not "liked" especially by your direct manager you will not be around for long. Department and company reorganizations are often and many. It is during these times you risk falling out of favor and run the risk of frequent job eliminations. Once you are out of the company due to a layoff or job elimination you are pretty much out forever - unless you have a contact manager that will hire you. There is no job security no matter your position or length of employment. Fidelity will never win any best places to work awards but the they pay well. If you are looking to be loved, respected, or for a friend - buy a dog.

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
