Fidelity Investments

Good salary and benefits, flexible hours, really good graduate training, and a thought-through software development process. Good corporate values.

Politics, management who rewards and backslaps themselves, treated badly. This was my first job, and my confidence as a developer after leaving this job was on the floor. More time was spent going to and from meetings than doing development. There was little or no travel. Favoritism. Once key people get a bad opinion of you, you're put in a category of useless people.

The culture at the local level needs to be changed. Management has too much power. Stop having meetings about meetings.
