Business Outlook
Pros
Fidelity is good company for early and mid career opportunities.Excellent use of technolgy for building their business and getting your job done. The benefits are excellent, but you will need to work hard and sometimes work/life balance get be difficult to maintain.
Cons
Can be very political and you need to spend a considerable amount of time promoting your accomplishments up the organization. Need to stay close to your boss and whoever he/she reports to to receive deserved recognition. If you want to move up you will need to an inordinate amount of time managing up. There can be a sense of entitlement amongst the longer term employees, but that is changing. Fidelity makes money despite itself and spends money foolishly at times.
