Pros

Good in CV, laidback company with little or no work Decent wages and benefits Lot of time for improving skill set for future job, if you stay low Good place for people who can do "favours" to their manager (only way to grow) Awesome place for people who have just "soft skills" but no or little actual skills

Cons

Totally incapable middle management (below VP level) especially in strategic data Work place is polluted by ugly politics so very little air to breath No recognition for talent or skill set Performance is measured by opinions no other metrics "Favours" and "favoritism" rules and thats the only way to grow in the company

Pros

Benefits and people are great. Internal mobility opportunities are amazing.

Cons

Hybrid, but strict schedule. The "F" in Fidelity stands for flexibility. Lower pay grade, but great job security in this role.

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.
