Pros

The Indian arm of Fidelity Investments gets huge support from the US, hence you have greater transparency with the organization. Very good compensation scales and equal pay according to your grade, which is very rarely seen. A variety of benefits like insurance cover, meal card worth 1150 every month, flexible timing, free transport, work from home option, good leave policy.

Cons

If you get offered as a Java/Fullstack developer role and the hiring BU is Asset Management, and you decide to get onboard, congratulations, you will ruin your career. After you join, they will ask you to do testing also. According to them a fullstack developer is the one who does backend development+automation testing+manual testing. And that too, the tools used are a decade old. No scope outside, no use of anything as whatever you learn will not help you in the future for other companies. Very toxic work environment, no work life balance. Often you will end up staying till late night. Very short and strict deadlines. They will also make you work in L2 support, in the weekends, you have to attend to bug fixes. Yes think many times before you join this BU.

Pros

Benefits are good- not great. The campus is beautiful! Free coffee!

Cons

1. Heavy volume call center- there is no pause between calls! The beep in between calls doesn’t even fully beep. You can’t get a sip of water in- it is that back to back. 2. You will be micro managed! They have a system in place that has your schedule mapped out for the upccoming months ahead! (Schedule adherence counts against you if you don’t follow it to the t.) Oh! And if you have a meeting planned or your computer doesn’t feel up to the challenge of running for the day- that’s counts against you too! 3. You will feel like a robot. You have to follow there call structure, miss any built point in the call structure and that excellent call goes to just satisfactory. It is very demoralizing to feel like you have done an amazing job and the customer was happy with your service, but Fidelity and there impossible metrics- not so much. 4. You are expected to know everything! There is a chat where you can ask questions and get the help you need, just keep in mind it’s one person helping a team of over 25+ people at once! It takes time for that person to answer the question, but all that time is counted against you in your metrics. They want 7 minute flawless calls (over & over) to the tune of there perfect script with nothing left out- even if it makes 0 sense to bring it up!

A culture of punishment and political posturing

Pros

Good Benefits. The work-life balance was good for most parts of the company. Occasional extra hours for special projects.

Cons

At the Ireland operation, upper management actively sought to destroy people's careers with lies and malice. They were in collusion with HR, so employees had no redress.
