Great company but something to consider - IT Director Fidelity Investments Employee Review

Pros

Overall I think Fidelity is a great company, the fact that its privately own makes it more immune to market volatility and the year-end bonuses have been fairly consistent

Cons

The promotion process is a complete mystery and it appears to be highly political Once you reach a certain level (director) within IT at least there are no annual market adjustments, so every year you are in theory making less money. Plus there are no catch-up adjustments. When applying to a job at the same level the policy is that you cannot get a salary increase, even if the job is vastly different and within a different business unit. Which means overall you are stuck at your current salary unless you look outside the firm

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
