Pros

They pay about 180 of your student loans. That's it.

Cons

This company does not value experience it values personal relationships within the company. It is VERY common for newcomers to feel pressure to "drink the kool aid" or they will learn very quickly how things are really run here. Bullying, mind games, favoritism but most importantly stealing ideas runs rampant. As you will probably read in other reviews, there is an uncomfortable cult-like atmosphere that is quite frankly, unsettling. Fidelity likes to hire its own interns or early career people that don't know better but anyone that has worked at any other company knows that: 1) The benefits are not that great: many companies of the same caliber offer equal if not better benefits. 2) The titles are incredibly inflated (personal relationships rule this place, not expertise). Fidelity pays with fancy titles when "promoted" in lieu of salary increases. As someone who had worked at other finance companies this was by far the most unethical I have ever experienced. If you're an early career person and would like to try it out, I suggest you get the experience and move on. If you are a tenured person, careful, this is not a company that pays well nor values your experience. You will be welcomed by people who have been here for years are not friendly if you don't rave about fidelity and its benefits everyday (literally). Strange place.

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.
