Pros: 1. Cab Facility 2. Work Life Balance

Cons: If you don't want to get any work and want to spend your time playing T.T. etc. in the office and rust away so that there is no growth in life, Fidelity is the best place for you! The cafeteria food sucks, management sucks, and most of the colleagues are lazy people with no decision-making capabilities. They come to the office just to pass time. Half of my team used to read novels, watch videos, and play games in the office.

Pros: Learning days, Flexible, Agile model

Cons: Promotion is difficult, as many are long-timers.

Pros: - Interesting domain and projects. - Plenty of support from senior members. - Manageable workload during sprints. - Great direct managers that support you in any way they can. - Good opportunities for career development and promotions.

Cons: Hired many people based all over Ireland during COVID, who have been working fully remote over the last 3 years. During the hiring process, gave them the expectation that when the offices reopened, they would be fully remote with a possible expectation of coming to the office a few times a year. Recently, Fidelity gave all Irish employees 30 days' notice that it would be mandatory to spend 3 consecutive days per month in the office, increasing to 5 consecutive days a month come July. Hundreds of employees are living more than a 2-hour commute from the office. HR's response to this is: "We have given you adequate notice to sort out any 'personal issues' in regards to getting to the office." Ireland is in the height of a rental and cost-of-living crisis, so there isn't any possibility of finding accommodation in Dublin/Galway, and Fidelity has made it clear there will be no expenses provided for travel/accommodation. So, overall, a poor decision made by Fidelity, which will result in the departure of many skilled employees.
