      Pros

      Fidelity Investments has an excellent work atmosphere. This is coupled with a good learning curve and career growth for inexperienced individuals who would be interested in the financial services domain.

      Cons

      There are very few cons to be mentioned. However, one would be the need to cope with current technology trends as it takes a considerable amount of time for the financial domain company to bring an upgrade considering the risk factor to their data.

      Pros

      'LEAP' - Their technologist graduate program is exceptional. 6 months of training, 4 of which are classroom based. Professional external trainers teaching everything form agile to public speaking to Spring MVC. They invest heavily in their young talent, and it pays. Salary was competitive as a grad (in my location at least), as are annual salary increases (I averaged 8-10% per year entering as a grad - in several smaller bumps - enough even to stay on par with peers who job-hopped!) though I don't know how that scales for higher-ups. The performance/review process is formalized and well run. The work environment is very good - flexible work hours, good work/life balance, very little tolerance for toxic behaviour, good people, I usually work 40 hours and leave the office at 5 most days.

      Cons

      As a technologist, the office is still very male-dominated - though this is a problem everywhere for software engineers. A lot of the salary/bonus structure is very clearly tied up in the overall company performance. During a recession or market downturn, the salary/bonus experience may be very different. There seems to be a lot of politicking in the upper-management. My team felt this through frequent group re-orgs, initiative changes, sudden U-turns on key priorities etc.
