Fidelity is a good place to work if you want to work in the financial sector
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
January 21, 2009
Pros: The best reasons to work for Fidelity are the benefits, the compensation versus other financial institutions, and the ability to work from home when it is necessary.
I was blown away by the compensation I got this year and how it shows that they actually pay for performance.
Cons: There is a lot of red tape around getting things done, especially at the software development level.
Sometimes they also squash creativity, but it gets better over time.
The one thing to know about this is that it is all about the group that you get into and who you work for.
