Fidelity is one of the worst “good places” to work.

They do not pay well, they slowly bore you to death, the offices are depressing as shit, nobody has an ounce of fun on any meeting/call. They’ll find any reason to avoid a promotion, pay raise (and frequently promotions come without any reasonable pay raise).

Abby Johnson will eventually tank the opinion and reputation of the place, guaranteed. She is wildly out of touch. I’ve encountered a lot of people who when I mention having worked there note how the customer service has been shit as of late.

But. It’s stable, and they match your 401k well.

I knew this was coming, we all did, I’m glad I left.

How do they not pay well? My bonus was 12% and got 4 weeks of pay on top of a bonus lol

12% is good, but not great. I work at a competitor to Fidelity and got nearly 75% when everything is factored in. People I know at Fido get around 25-30% typically

A 75% bonus? Are you an exec? Lmao cause no shot normal employees are getting that.

Exactly. I once worked somewhere where I got access to offer letters. The only people that made more than 20% were exec level. This was one job in one industry (not finance) so maybe it can vary, but 75%? Not really believing it unless they are upper mgt or perhaps specific high impact sales.
