Fidelity Investments

The best work-personal life balance (I hardly worked more than 9 hours a day during 3 years).

Good compensation compared to service providers, with less variable and more fixed pay.

People are very professional and diplomatic, with very little politics. Management is approachable.

Good facilities like free transport and food.

Quality of work is not good. All the time, you'll be doing maintenance and enhancement work.

Slow in adopting new technologies. Not the company to look for if you want to stay technical.

Top heavy. There are almost equal numbers of managers and directors compared to developers (hope I'm not exaggerating it too much).

No growth prospects.

Everything is driven from the US. Management is a very good obeyer of their US counterparts. Though they talk about taking many good initiatives, I hardly saw them being useful.

In fact, the management is good and capable (by their qualification and experience) but fails to get a good amount of work from the US. Though FMR India has been a captive center for more than 6 years now, there are more critical projects with Infy & Patni than FMR India.

Very few onsite opportunities, especially for techies.

Look at bringing key projects to FMR India.

Have a properly structured hierarchy in place.
