Pros

35% bonus and 10% profit share adds up a LOT if you can budget better than paycheck to paycheck and month to month. Pace is glacial. Process and regulation in regulated environment means you are told "no" or why you cannot do things more than you spend actually trying to build valuable products.

Cons

Leadership seems MIA lately with full RTO directives, re organizations to get rid of agile with no replacement provided, and "no AI providers" stance while permitted paths are figured out. The glacial pace of allowing anything means we are effectively trying to do things the rest of the world already moved on from 6-12 months ago.

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.
