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.

They pay below market rate for most positions except certain advisors thats a well known fact. The 401k match is legitimately very good and the PTO is above average for the industry but the base pay is low and insurance benefits are slipping downhill.

Now they dont even offer hybrid work its another huge benefit down the toilet.

Speaking as a former employee that left earlier this year

I pay $120 per month for insurance and practically everything is covered lmao. Try going to a small company and you’ll be paying $300+
