Good Benefits and Pay, but Return to Office Policy Disappoints - Director, Software Engineering Fidelity Investments Employee Review

Pros

The benefits package is excellent. Health insurance, paid time off, and other perks are top-notch. Competitive pay. Compensation here is above average for the industry. Great team culture and supportive colleagues. The work environment is respectful and collaborative.

Cons

The return-to-office policy feels misguided. Throughout the pandemic, we were consistently told how productive we were while working remotely. Despite this proven success, the company has now decided that we must return to the office 50% of the time. This decision feels out of sync with both the data on our productivity and with employee preferences. It feels like a step backward in terms of flexibility and trust.

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.
