Fidelity Investments Employer Reviews

Management tends to micro-manage day-day activities. Success is largely dependent on which territory you are assigned which you have no control over. Compensation can be very good (depending on sales) and benefits are unbeatable. Very generous profit sharing and 401k match.

Great Company for Learning & Growing & Earning
The most enjoyable part of the job was the client & co-worker interaction

I worked there through Veritude, their Temporary Employment Services Division. I enjoyed working in many departments there and learned a lot about financial services.

My tenure in Fidelity was very enriching. Coworkers and Managers were very supportive. Work life balance was good.

A typical day for me at Fidelity Investments:
I would begin by having a status meeting with offshore team members for my project. I received a status and would provide direction for any coding or problems resolutions. I would then have a status meeting with the business team to provide a status and discuss designs for problems or requirements as they – more...  presented themselves. Provide estimates for any items and later follow up with a documented design for both the business requirement and the system design for the offshore resources. The second half of my day: A Principle Software Engineer on an agile team converting CICS on-line trade functionality to process real-time for appropriate trades. I would typically have an agile story directing me to make changes to satisfy the story's requirements. So, I worked in a dedicated environment with a dedicated team in a fast pace agile environment to achieve the project goals. As a member of an agile team, the focus was to accomplish our goals by everyone being flexible when taking on tasks to achieve these goals. – less

Fidelity was a wonderful place to work for me. I spent 20 years there and loved it. People were great, great benefits, people are recognized for their accomplishments. Fidelity promotes a good work/life balance. They work hard and make time for play.

Fidelity offers great career opportunities if one wants to advance and expand their skill set

After fourteen years of service my position was eliminated in March 2012.

Nice company to work for. Good benefits and career development.

Great company to work for. Environment was very freindly and pay was very good.

Starts off with a Scrum Daily Stand-up and then we have few meeting with team to discuss scope/release and weekly once meet with Sr Management to review the progress of the projects. All the co-workers are really great to work with and there's always new things to learn as the company is moving towards towards a new SDLC process (Agile). The most enjoyable – more...  part of the job is tha analysis of complex systems which was fun to investigate the legacy system and identify things that no one ever knew about the systems. – less

I think fidelity is a great company and provides great knowlegde and benefits for its working as well great customer for all clients striving to provide the clients with the best possible service

If you can sell, then you don't need to be at Fidelity. You can make a lot more money elsewhere. FIdelity is a place where you can get some decent training and learn about the markets. It is a place who you know more than what you know to get promoted. The people whom I work with (co-workers) are for the most part good to work with but again most of – more...  them are in the same boat trying to find a new opportunity. – less

Really took care of employees needs and made sure they were well balanced and appreciated.

Working for Fidelity Investments was a Great experience. The employyes as well as the clients all were unique, which made this workplace somewhere to always look forward to coming to.

A very large workload required more specialization than there might be at some other companies. Great benefits.

Working at Fidelity was very exciting and enjoyable on a day to day basis. My peers loved to work there and it showed through performance. The hardest part of my job was dealing with our traders in Boston and not being able to see them face to face. the most enjoyable part was my co-workers.

I met a lot of interesting and talented people, and I worked on some great projects.
