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

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 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.

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.
