      Good place to work when they want it to be

      Equity research associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fidelity is one of the only equity research jobs where an undergrad can immediately become a lead analyst on 20+ companies with good access to top management of the companies they are researching. There is also a strong history of talent that you will be surrounded by. Pay is fair to good for the job.

      Cons

      Management is not honest with employees about current situation of the company and compensation outlook; there has been significant turnover in Fidelity C-suite, and it is unclear what direction the company is heading; limited real time feedback on how well you are doing your job.

      Company better recognised than the employees

      Research analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Extremely well recognised in the City and a lot of sway with companies and brokers; great opportunities to learn. A lot of freedom to run your own diary and pursue ways that you think will add value to the research process.

      Cons

      Most of the fund managers and other analysts have their own agenda and so it can be quite fragmented in terms of communication, and accordingly recognition, unless you really make an effort.

      New leaders across firm changing the culture

      Vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I loved the people I worked with at Fidelity - smart, creative, hardworking, fun. Most people care about the customer and work hard to provide great service. Operations and Technology groups had many talented individuals and middle managers, but lacked a cohesive strategy and strong SVP management. I had excellent training opportunities and career progression. Fidelity was a great company for the 15 years I worked there.

      Cons

      With the overhaul at the executive levels from 2007 onwards, and the revolving door of external hires at the highest levels, the frequency of organizational and strategic changes became intense. Major layoffs took place in 2008 and early 2009, due in part (but not entirely) to the market turmoil. The whole financial services field has been downsizing, so think carefully before you apply for a job at Fidelity if the stock market is still very rocky. Be prepared to manage your career and build a good network. Have a "Plan B" ready in case you get laid off.
