Pros

Overall, very solid company with great benefits, opportunities for promotion. Fidelity has multiple locations so there is potential to move around. You can get in contact with the top easier than you'd think for a large corporation. The old saying was you never get rich while at Fidelity, but because you worked there you will be rich. I think this is true because of the incentive programs between annual bonus opportunities which can be a substantial amount of your income, phantom share program that pay out every two years and their profit sharing that was their year in and out.

Cons

I thought that Fidelity got a little too big and struggled to find out how to structure itself to succeed. It seemed like we would go through 3-4 organizational alignments each year. It's not that it's bad, but they never seem to be able to stay the course with their decisions. It really depended upon who was leading the charge. Current senior management is more about the bottom line as oppose to prior leadership. Prior leadership still looked at growth opportunities and current leadership wants to maintain and not necessary grow the business unless it is an EXACT fit or match.

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
