Toxic Company - Senior Manager Fidelity Investments Employee Review

Don't be fooled by the positive reviews which are all made- up! The company looks good on the outside, but the internal environment is quite toxic. There's a lot of office politics, especially among long-term veteran employees, which makes it hard for anyone to grow unless they constantly 'please' their manager. Performance Ratings are pre-decided & and initiatives often fade away after the appraisal cycle. Good initiative or projects are given to those who consistently please or false praise their Managers publicly. If you don’t flatter your manager, you're labeled as underperforming! The company has strict in-office work policies (2 consecutive weeks) without WFH or any leave on those days. Overall, the place might look appealing from the outside, but it’s full of internal politics. If you are around 50+ years of age & left with 8-10 years of work left before retirement then join...People looking for growth & learning STAY AWAY !
