Pros
- Very relaxed atmosphere - Good perks - Nice people - Money is good for the effort required - If you accept what it is, a very easy and nice way to make a living
Cons
- A little racist - especially if you are not American, forget about progressing up the ladder; London office is merely seen as a satellite office and is a toy thing/pass time/waiting room for management who don't quite make the cut in Boston. - Very senior management - from board members to CEO have no connection or care for the London office; essentially a b*stard child in London.....Fidelity International... shown a little more love from very senior management - With Abby taking over, gender diversification is high on the priority but there is a little other diversification going on....same old deadwood serving little purpose drifting around.. - Not trying to reinvent the wheel; the company is a mammoth revenue generating machine giving employees great pay and perks as long as you stay in line, if you are fine with that - good place to work

Hire locally and give the office autonomy - with reputation being the highest priority, it is understandable why one wouldn't.

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.

Pros
Good Work life balance Relaxed Environment
Cons
-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 term

Arrogant people that show disrespect should be disciplined. No one is too important
