Vantaggi
Good management of the Employer services part of the company meant it was a great place to work in IT. Many opportunities to shine but it required hard work and you need to be a self starter. If you want to gain skills in running projects, managing up or down and overall leadership, FESCo was a wonderful environment.
Svantaggi
Other Fidelity business units are not as well managed, if you do not work in a group with good leadership you may have a different experience altogether. Security is tight, you will go through extensive background checks and must adhere to the companies many policies. As with any large company, there is a reasonable amount of red tape and paperwork to get anything done. Internal IT services in this company are particularly inefficient.
