Pros

No pros as such. Nothing good in this company. It looks good from the outside only.

Lateral entries, stay away from such a bad organization.

Cons
  • Employees who stayed for some time (say for more than 5 years) are treated as gods. They treat lateral employees as if their prior experience is void. Employees who stayed with Fidelity for more than 7+ years are called Leads. They are leads because they stayed with Fidelity for 7+ years. They don't have to work; rather, they try to control lateral joinee employees and show them thousands of rules and regulations. They will torture you in the name of code review, moralize you in the name of a one-to-one meeting. You don't have the freedom to code; rather, they will force their ideas on you.

  • Pathetic annual increment for lateral joinees.

  • No designation change for a long duration for lateral joinees.

Advice to Management

Remove these so-called leads from your organization.
