Lost it's Way - Vice President Fidelity Investments Employee Review

Pros

Fidelity has a good brand and most of the employees are smart and want to do the right thing. It is nice that it is a private company with huge wallets which allows them to invest when the market (stock or job) is down. Good place to work out of school and get some good experience by moving around and trying different roles. There is also a student debt benefit which is good for anybody that can leverage it. Due to their volumes, they will continue to make lots of money.

Cons

They have flattened the organization as part of the "agile transformation" and expect you to make lots of lateral moves (forget climbing the ladder unless you are very junior). They have pushed out most of the good senior level leaders or bought them out via VBO. They are catering to young workers who they can pay less and shuffle from one group to another. Leadership is not engaging or inspiring.

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
