Pros: Good work-life balance. A good place to work.

Cons: Narrow your focus. You are limited to focusing just on your work.

Pros: Good pay and benefits. Depends on the group you work with. Being nice to your boss may get you promoted sooner.

Cons: Bureaucracy, office politics. Company culture is changing lately into hiring people at lower grades to save money, even though the position and experience demand a higher pay grade.

Pros: Good employee investment plan (I've heard it's changed since though). Excellent intranet communications, including online training and other programs. Mature organization: policies and procedures are clear and well-formed. Opportunities for reward and bonus are consistent. Strong, progressive corporate culture.

Cons: Politics over substance in some areas, with occasionally over-managed resources. The review process seems more subjective than objective. From my perspective, Fidelity can be a great place to work if you get in the right group. Unfortunately, I joined a group that had a high turnover rate that began before I joined and continued after I left.
