Pros

Fidelity has a very competitive benefits package, and good opportunities for training and extending your knowlege of financial services. There are lots of opportunities for working in different departments during your career. The average tenure of Fidelity employees is quite long - something like 10+ years, so you could build a long career here if you want to.

Cons

Management is out of touch with market direction and needs, and technology personnel are viewed as "overhead" or an "expense" and not really an investment in the future. There is a tremendous amount of bureacracy and layers of removal between the customer and the people actually doing the work. Having "fun" at work isn't really a priority, eveyrone walks around with their head down hardly cracking a smile most of the time. It's all business, all the time, but a lot of efforts being duplicated and /or wasted.

Pros

Pay and benefits are very good. They spend money like it is going out of style. The compensation is good but you have to be cautious what the HR reps promise you. They will promise you anyting just so you will accept.

Cons

Fidelity is a lifestyle not just work. You work 24X7. No room for family. Way too much paperwork to do your job. Boston rules, Raleigh is treated like India outsourced. Where I worked, I only got to know the 5 people that I worked with. Also, if you work in Raleigh, be wary of the Boston people. They are not friendly and are not interested in helping anyone new. The NH office resent the Raliegh office with a passion.
