Pros

Fidelity has some okay benefits, but nothing special. The people are the best asset, and the company does not even remotely deserve any of them.

Cons

- Micromanagement from C-level executives - "One size fits all" mentality - Managers have *NO* discretion to do what is best for their teams (or the company) - Weird compensation structure. (Base pay is ***WAY*** below the industry.) - Many benefits (401k match, etc) do not kick in until you've been there a year and have a ridiculous vesting period. - Only about 5% of employees get promoted in a given year. Get ready for the "Hunger Games" to compete against your peers for good raises and promotions. - Probably the worst handling of a layoff that I've seen in my 30+ year career. - Heavy-handed RTO policy. Many workers were hired remotely during Covid, told they could alway work remotely, and now are having to quit because they can't adhere to the attendance policy. - The office environment is the worst I've ever seen. Desks side-by-side (not even cubicles). Super loud. Super distracting.

Monopoly on Mediocrity

Pros

You're likely to work with kind people who just want to do their work as well as they can, and then go home. You can have a very long and successful career (at the firm) if you choose to stay and play the game or opt-out entirely.

Cons

The culture of promotions and performance is based largely on tenure (at the firm) and visibility than actual contributions. Titles are given as in-the-door incentives to new hires, and withheld from internal candidates (unless making internal moves for promotions). It's well known and frequently communicated that you need to move groups to get promotions, yet you're encouraged to communicate your intentions to your manager. Every internal policy seems geared towards retaining mediocre talent (that can't leave) and encouraging talent to seek better options within or outside the firm. Pay is based on "cost of labor", which trails by one or more years - you'll constantly be paid at your "I would riot below this" number year-after-year.

YOU'RE A SLAVE

Pros

Solid pay, Really good benefits! It is easy to move departments and roles within the company.

Cons

If you're okay with being treated like a robot with little to no autonmay and using your brain to think outside of their neat lines then this would be a place for you to work at. It says remote but they are always watching you to see what you're doing. The managers are their to micro manage you. This job made me deppressed.
