RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Fidelity Investments full-time
Pros
Lots of responsibility immediately and autonomy to do your job. A lot of resources available to conduct research.
Cons
Career progression is a challenge given limited opportunities for full time portfolio management, which is the track most analysts pursue. Can become frustrating at times.
Advice to Management
Do a better job of communicating career progression expectations to incoming analysts and attempt to further their intellectual curiosity and development even while they are waiting for a PM promotion.

Pros
The non managerial staff, the people actually DOING the work!
Cons
The managerial staff, the delegators, the 'turn a blind eyers'
Advice to Management
Treat your staff like people, like you would want to be treated yourself! I am very sure you would not allow one of your family members to be treated the way I have been treated at this company.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Fidelity Investments full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Really fantastic people at every single location across the globe. Management generally sensible and efficient. Still a lot of unnecessary secrecy at the top level, especially when staff are made redundant - it is a bit like a Soviet purge, it is as if they were never there...
Cons
Regulatory changes have introduced transparent fees, which has led to a price-based spiral to the bottom in the investments industry. It is now much harder for even the best companies to make much money, so there is constant cost pressure across the company, and many redundancies.

I worked at Fidelity Investments full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
The company has its own unique culture. Management always tries to be ultra conservative in doing the right thing
Cons
The innovation at the company is lacking. Because they are so conservative they tend to not want to damage their reputation and therefore don't take risks.

"Cheesy american company"
StarStarStarStarStarPros
Absolutely fantastic benefits, on site GP, private medical natch, bonus was best bonus I had in any previous company I have worked at
Cons
Seems I was brought in here just to be given a kick in, I had what seemed like at time four different managers all wanting different things. Hours weren't great but if the environment wasn't as toxic as it was I probably wouldn't have minded. Other staff outside of my team were great and really helpful.
It could be a great company for you if you do not mind being treated as 'just a number'Fidelity Investments 2016-06-14 04:30 PDT![Fidelity Investments Logo]()

Pros
- Great atmosphere and people
- Good place to learn and be trained as people are patient and willing to train
- Willing to support qualifications and ambitions
- Good social life after workCons
Too much middle management who have been there for 10+yrs meaning new ideas rarely embraced
Career progression quite slow
People are rewarded and promoted for sticking around, not for showing any initiativeAdvice to Management
Push out the staid and old middle management and make the place a slight bit more dynamic. Promote more senior analysts/assistant managers to manager rank at a younger age and give the place some impetus.
