Flexible, good pay, excellent benefits. They are extremely focused on their customer, which makes the company successful. Everyone I worked with was nearly always very professional.
Lots of politics, very slow to advance employees, and overly value soft skills in technical employees. They say that at Fidelity you're rewarded for what you do, but my experience was that it's at least half due to your political skill, as it is with many large companies.
People need to feel valued and properly compensated for their work.
Two-round panel interviews. The first one is technical, then the next one is technical plus soft skills. A coding exercise is optional, mostly not very hard. I had the chance to ask them questions at the end.
The first round was a phone interview with HR. The second round was a technical/behavioral round with the hiring manager. The final round was a live coding/technical round with 2 principal software engineers. The whole process took almost 2 months
The interview was easy, but the interviewer was bad at his own concepts. He did not have proper communication skills and did not explain the coding questions correctly. This led to a lot of wasted time, because of which I could not finish the second
