Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are the best and they know in and out of the process
Inclusive, supportive and respectful. Ready to meet you where you're at and provide any resources to help you on your career path.
They are sharp and have a lot of experience. But the vision is always hidden and not clearly communicated. There are too many visions.
Review from IT Dept
Transparency, communication, vision, inclusive ness, thought leadership
Friendly environment and good place
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Having a path to career growth that does not confuse exploitation for opportunity.
Less ego and more WE go!
Review from HR Dept
Executive team needs to listen to constructive feedback from employees and take concrete steps to improve working conditions. Technology requires major improvements. Pay is not competitive. Requiring employees to swipe their badge every time they enter and leave each floor is absurd.
Don't hire former government employees that only have10 years to work
Align client expectattions with business goals
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Fidelity Cares volunteering program opportunities
Review from HR Dept
Volunteering with Fidelity Cares program
Fair to above avg salary, including benefits shares, match and profit sharing, extremely hard to match.
I think my Bonus structure
Bonus and profit-sharing are great.
Review from IT Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Base salaries just need to be notably imcreased, as they’re not keeping up with the cost of the greater Boston region. The other forms of pay the company offers, shares, are manager discretion. So, awarding them isn’t always equita
If I could actually pay my bills and stop having to rely on a credit card to feed my wife and I, that would be great. Raise the base pay to a livable wage. Stop allowing clients dissatisfied with process, laws, rules, and/or industry regulations from tanking your quarterly bonuses in reviews.
Lack of support for promotion
Certain sites do not get equal pay and benefits (profit sharing) for the same work completed by other sites. Also, the pay discrepancy between the lower level salary grades and the upper is unethical. The vesting schedule is imbalanced.
Overall compensation is just okay. It is not what it should be, and it is lower than that at similar companies. The base compensation needs to be increased. Fidelity often loses employees because of pay, especially those in technology.
What are some of the best things about your team?
my coworkers are the only redeeming quality of this company. for the most part id say a good 30-40% of fidelity workers are extremely competent and knowledgeable. but in the last 2ish year Fidelity has lowered its hiring standards significantly and it feels like they higher just about anyone.
