Nothing lasts forever - Principal Software Engineer Fidelity Investments Employee Review

Pros

The first 8-10 of my 16 years were good. Work was challenging but rewarding. New ideas and approaches were encouraged. Teams of talented, hard working professionals defined the company. Employees were told that they were the number one asset.

Cons

Too much focus on process and too little on work that added value to the firm. Offshoring and dumping people in Texas has eliminated nearly every tech job in Boston; any honest audit of the 'site strategy' will show that it has been an ill-conceived disaster. The costs are much higher and very little is getting done.

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.
