Pros

Location (for Boston Employees), multiple fringe benefits. Some good middle managers. It really depends which part of Fidelity you work for though - FMR is the way to go with less likelihood of being outsourced or down sized.

Cons

Lack of opportunity for career advancement in IT. Locations (non-Boston). There is an unspoken expectation in some departments that you will work above your normal hours and not complain or expect any compensation for the time.

Fidelity has a great work life balance and an amazing culture. Had a great time interning there!

Not as much tech innovation but makes sense for a financial firm.

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.
