RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Fidelity Investments full-time (More than 3 years)
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.
Advice to Management
No advice. I like the direction Abby is taking this company. I think sticking to our current principles will turn out to be a big success.

Pros
The culture is wonderful and the in-office perks are cool. The company cares about its employees and goes above and beyond to create a positive work environment. Lots of room for advancement and growth within the company. Management is there for you every step of the way in coaching and helping you with anything you need. There is a lot of freedom and ways to show improvement and your skills
Cons

Pros
Good company but awful tech management. Those on top have no empathy and hardly any profession for women..
Cons
Zero flexibility, no support for working mothers. They will put million reasons in writing to get their way. Gender bias.
Advice to Management
Listen to employees. Teams work makes dreams work.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Fidelity Investments full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Good Work life balance
Relaxed EnvironmentCons
-Not diverse at all. All senior management is American. Company is very Boston centric and people come from the same schools in Boston. Company has a long way to go before reaching the diversity levels we see at American firms. Diversity does not mean hiring few foreigners to fix your IT issues. Diversity means promoting the best members (regardless of their nationality) and give them the opportunity to make an impact
-Not inclusive at all (people keep stuff for themselves).
- Arrogant culture. Employees are massively under valued
-Flat structure. People work for a pay check
-No discipline. People cut their nails in the office
-Most traders are average yet they do not know the limits of their knowledge
-Company is not techie enough to survive in the long termAdvice to Management
Open up to the world.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Fidelity Investments full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Renumeration / lifestyle, nice offices, free lunch on Friday
Cons
Pretty much everything else; extremely bureaucratic and political. Very odd flat structure with spikes of seniority which leads to very limited possibility to progress. Basically - you sell your soul and your talents to sit there quietly for a pay cheque.
Advice to Management
Open up to change; unfortunately change has to come from owner; fresh change to management
