Pros

Unbeatable benefits and great training as a new hire. They brainwash you into thinking this will be a lifelong career, but ultimately they want you to be a robot, triple your work load and give insulting merit raises. Don't stick around more than you need to. Learn the trade and move on to a company who appreciates your dedication and rewards and recognizes it.

Cons

Management lives in Disneyland, management has no idea of day to day processes, even most lower level managers. No work life balance. Pay is stuck in 1995, they preach one thing but really expect another. It's a militant culture, and if you don't fake a smile every second of the day you will not succeed. Also, you are stack ranked against your peers. So, if the lowest score is you at 97.8 and the highest score is 97.9. You will receive a NEEDS IMPROVEMENT or INCONSISTENT PERFORMANCE. Seriously? Down to the decimal?

Pros

Good people, interesting work. Great company in general but culture is made by leaders and varies by workgroup.

Cons

No consideration for work/family life balance, good old boys club membership required for promotion, too political. Raises and bonus do NOT live up to what the recruiters say, be prepared for no raise for several years.

Good company in US, unprincipled and unstructured in India.

Business Outlook

Pros

Company with great management and pedigree, but only in the USA. Significant on-site opportunities for a valued employee in India.

Cons

Top Performers are not valued - appraisal rates vary drastically across verticals for the same performance rating. Inept and lax HR group - I wasn't even given an exit interview upon leaving. A very bad co. in India to start your career with - uncompetitive salaries (fresher salaries unchanged for 7+ years), no good onboarding program, chalta hai attitude-fresh recruits were kept on the bench for 15+ months with no HR assistance. India office is full of management politicking with little opportunities that aren't gimmicks. Fidelity in US might be a great place to work, not so in India. No synergy across Bangalore and Chennai India sites. Fidelity India lies to Fidelity US (fact).
