Fidelity Investments reviews

- Micromanagement from C-level executives - "One size fits all" mentality - Managers have *NO* discretion to do what is best for their teams (or the company) - Weird compensation structure. (Base pay is ***WAY*** below the industry.) - Many benefits (401k match, etc) do not kick in until you've been there a year and have a ridiculous vesting period. - Only about 5% of employees get promoted in a given year. Get ready for the "Hunger Games" to compete against your peers for good raises and promotions. - Probably the worst handling of a layoff that I've seen in my 30+ year career. - Heavy-handed RTO policy. Many workers were hired remotely during Covid, told they could alway work remotely, and now are having to quit because they can't adhere to the attendance policy. - The office environment is the worst I've ever seen. Desks side-by-side (not even cubicles). Super loud. Super distracting.

Unethical manager. Manager did discrimination based on language. They knew my wife was having a baby and I was getting ready to go for parental leave. And just two weeks ago my daughter was due to be born the manager laid me off. When I asked for a reason he didn’t have an answer. Just gave me random reason saying HR randomly picked. He purposefully kept all telugu speaking people and because I was not got rid of me. I worked more than 6 yrs in Fidelity and when I was about to be off for parental leave they just decided to steal my hard earned leave from me. This is inhuman. I had shared with him that I was the only bread winner in the house and still without any reason they decided to put me through lot of suffering
