Pros

Great work life balance. Above average benefits. Good company image and demonstrated success.

Cons

Comparatively low salary. Fidelity claims it is competitive but it isn't. Does not understand technology. Slow moving and not very many opportunities to build a resume with marketable skills. Career advancement can be heavily based on the politics of your team. Very lax interviews causes many of your fellow teammates to be incompetent and unable. Lots of offshore contracting going on. This means you'll be getting up early to talk to your offshore team and hating doing it since of the probable communication barrier.

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.
