Pros: Benefits, Work-life balance, Career mobility

Cons: Nothing much.

Pros: 28 Days PTO after 5+ years. Relatively stable employment, seems lower layoff risk than other companies in the industry. Internal mobility is good (except in NC, where there is currently a hiring freeze in all but name).

Cons: 50% RTO, relatively low base pay, nearly impossible to get promoted. Benefits are being methodically removed (computer reimbursement, fitness reimbursement). Flexibility is being limited (must attend all 5 days in office; noncompliance may result in reduced bonus eligibility and/or termination). Culture has become much more corporate in recent years. Continuous addition of bureaucratic processes (time tracking and excessive number of governance boards). Tech decisions are made with no basis in reality, and there is the expectation of delivering business value while constantly undercutting the developers' opinions and changing the fundamental expectations of the job.

Pros: My immediate team is great. I'm able to work on exciting work where I have an impact. My direct manager is awesome. I have had plenty of opportunities to grow and develop in my career. Once every 2 weeks, we get a Learning Day. It's my favorite benefit.

Cons: The upper management went off the rails during Covid. They used to treat you like an adult and trust you to get the job done. Now they have gone full force back into 20th-century command-and-control mode and micromanagement with 21st-century technology. It's increasingly dystopian. I could see it coming and warned about it in previous reviews, but upper management, especially HR, is going to destroy this company. It deeply hurts me to write this. I have spent almost two decades here. Fidelity used to be a "we"; now it is a "they". I can't recommend this as a place to work because I don't know what the next random misguided HR policy will be, and I don't want that on my conscience.
