Current Employee – been working at Fidelity Investments full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Good work environment
Good Benefits
Some project have good technology and scope to learn
investment banking domain in some projects, so learning will keep you occupied (if you like it though)
Not too much work pressure most of the year, some times will be need to stretch but that is norm in every IT projects, so no complains.
great place for Developers as they get higher salary and other monitory benifits.

Cons – QA management is spine less and think it is a overhead for project. THEY DONT CARE FOR QA FOLKS.
Decision making is US, so your voice will not be heard much.
High level of politics (norm in every company i suppose)
Commitment to India operation is questionable(will not be surprised if it closes in 5 years).
Growth will be painfully slow at bottom level but faster at SPM and above levels.

Advice to Senior Management – Good work in many regards but please dont make promises you can not hold to new or existing employees. Treat QA as a internal part of IT not like 3rd class citizens.
