Challenging place to work, in every sense of the word

Vice president

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Privately owned company historically not afraid of investing in up and down markets. No quarterly Wall Street pressure means management can take a long view. Historically, very good compensation packages at all levels. Intellectually challenging environment with lots of talented people.

Cons

Recent, sweeping management changes have been tough on the rank-and-file, and the outcome isn't entirely clear, yet. Technical innovation is often dampened by "big systems" thinking and, recently, tight budgets and timelines. The downside of lots of talented / smart people is that one occasionally encounters staggering levels of arrogance.

IT is treated as an expense, not as an investment.

Principal software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

There are a lot of very smart people working in the IT area here, and it's been a pleasure working with them.

Cons

There are also a lot of very lazy people working here who have adopted a "cover my butt" attitude. Taking risks and initiative is actively discouraged by multiple layers of middle management who are afraid to be on the "wrong side" of a senior manager, so the safe-but-inadequate decision is preferred over a better solution which entails some risk. Too much paper-pushing and red tape in getting things done. HR & Management like to crow about paying "industry average" salaries, which to me seems like a way to guarantee you'll only retain "industry average" talent.

Great place to work for self motivated people.

Financial analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Knowledgeable staff, top notch technology, excellent benefits. Hands down the leader in the industry in just about everything they do. If you want to be surrounded by the smartest people and the best systems - Fidelity is the place to be. 401k and other benefits will not be beat by any other institution.

Cons

Lower end of the salary scale. Management is more supervisory leaving it up to you so search out ways to grow and learn. Expect to spend your own time searching for ways to improve. Prepare for a heavy workload which will only grow with the more experience you gain.
