Stuck on Java - Software Engineer Fidelity Investments Employee Review

Pros

* More than enough PTO (23 days + 5 days covid/family relief time) * Deadlines are reasonable for epics and sprints, low stress to get work done on time * Pay is pretty good for RDU metro area

Cons

* Stuck on Java as the primary language. Reasoning for that is legacy code integrates more easily, and they know they can hire for Java. But recent graduates like myself probably don't like using it as much as Python, Go, etc. * Slow to lay out concrete details for return to office

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.
