Pros

If you are on a work visa or an H1B applicant than this is the place for you! You can enjoy having brand new ping pong tables and crappy food in the mess hall, just do t expect things like a desk to work at when you are in the office or a compensation package that approaches the median for your job role

Cons

Management is getting uppity about people coming into the office because Abby Johnson doesn’t want to admit that the Pandora’s box they opened by forcing us to work remote for 2 years has permanently changed the way people look at software work. They’d rather force us back into our cramped offices to protect their real estate interests than to admit that it’s objectively a worse way to work. This is compounded by the fact that most development teams are spread out over two continents for cost saving measures

Pros

I’ve been at Fidelity for a while. Just some points to be aware of. Pros: Good experience. Well supported out of the gate. Harder as you progress. Cons: Very political. Who you know environment. Compensation is marginal. Here’s the beta. Great place to start. Get your licenses and experience. At 5 years. Move on. The compensation is poor. Fidelity does not respect knowledge. The benes are good to a point. For student loans and growing families— good benes. Unfortunately most won’t be able to afford daycare. The 10% profit sharing is nice as well but again, most won’t be able to meet the IRS 401k limit so it really just fills the compensation gap. I’m just saying, choose wisely. 5 years then bounce. If I had it to do again. I would not. Don’t think you’ll get a merit increase that meets inflation or cost of living because you won’t. Christmas bonuses are only during strong economic years. You will be overworked and under appreciated. Choose wisely.

Cons

In the pros paragraph. Please read.

Pros

Retirement benefits, great people, opportunity for growth

Cons

Dynamic working policy has been adjusted to two weeks in-person starting in September 2024. You do not pick when you go to the office, you are told the weeks and have no ability to change that. If you live far away from the office, I’d suggest rethinking this role. Management is only concerned with getting use out of our office buildings and not actually listening to the associates. When they announced the RTO policy, they turned off all of the comments on our internal website. This is a good place to work if you don’t mind being just a number.
