Fidelity Investments Software Developer reviews

Low average quality of engineers (a set of "superstar engineers" carry the teams) Technical leaders (SVP+) are not intellectually honest Technical leaders (SVP+) push their own agendas, they listen to their buddies not the people who actually know what they are talking about) Relatively fixed opportunities for advancement

1. Pathetic canteen, U don't get anything apart from lunch time. 2. Growth is slow due to tons of HR policies(ex : join as associate wait for 18 months to complete in the team as per the policy, in order to go different team after that get 6 months grace period to apply for different team if u didn't get different team, then u have to accept promotion as software again u blocked for 18 months, so from associate to software and staying in software engineer u will end up 4 years in the company, forget about senior it will take 4+2 to become senior and 6+4 to lead) now u guys understood slow growth means. 3. Work load is high, no appreciation for the work you do. 4. If you join this company as an senior software engineer then salary is good, mid level it's as same as other company standards. 5. Approval for each and every idea, first of all manager don't appreciate your ideas they just listen and implement themselves and take there name.
