Working at Fidelity Investments in Westlake, TX: 28 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Westlake, TX Area

"Great place to work to gain experience in many applications and hardware. It is a company that does place a lot of emphasis on being an extrovert. I have struggled here due to this reason. I have maintained and exceeded expectation on statistical goals for my position but due to not being outgoing on a regular basis I have been passed up on being hired on full time over and over again. I have been informed I would be next to be hired on each time I have a meeting with manager but keep getting passed up."

"I worked at Fidelity for nearly 15 years. They do an excellent job in taking care of employees and compensating them well. Great efforts are made to to stay customer focused both in service and reliability. I would (and have) recommended to friends and family to work for them."

"Fidelity management listens to employee and thrives to do better. Being a large company with legacy and regulation, reduces speed of execution - but still you see the honest intent. People are well respected and heard in general. Benefits are excellent, compensation is comparable to market - although vesting and long term stay benefits employee."

"Strong work ethic and they have the welfare of their customers and employees in mind"

"Overall, a nice company to work for."

"Fidelity Investments is a great place to work."

"The company offered great ways in advancing wealth opportunities"

"Amazing work environment with amazing benefits."

"Overall a great company with a large influence in the finance and retirement benefits world."

"Great company to work for with great benefits. Pretty industry average salary but benefits make up for the gap."

"Although it is a financial services company, technology is it's backbone. Huge learning opportunity for young stars. Challenging assignments for experienced people as security and scale are always key for the firm. Great benefit and extremely smart people to work with."

"I have been with the company for over 2 years and find the atmosphere to be very fitting. It promotes a great work to home life ratio."

"I have worked for Fidelity for almost 15 years. The company is a good company to work for but lags its peers in compensation in the financial industry. Fidelity has outsourced a significant amount of work to India and QA testing to China. While the company isn't a high tech company unless you walk into an investor center you're probably familiar with Fidelity through work with a 401k or through the web for IRA's and trades. All of this is technology driven versus face to face or calling a phone representative. While fidelity has a tremendous amount of phone reps to handle your call, almost all interactions start off via the web. So while Fidelity is a good and stable place to work for the most part it is not the place to work if you're after salary alone and it is not the place to work if you want a creative environment like Google or another high tech company. So if you are not looking for a cutting edge tech company and are not trading stocks, etc, but want to answer phones Fidelity is a fantastic place to work versus many call centers. If you're interested in doing a good job for good pay in good working conditions but not advancing your career or your skill set Fidelity is also a very good company to work for. Fidelity is a 365/24 company as the web never sleeps, but has a discourse in understanding that not everyone works on Boston time, therefore if you're in TX or in India you are either working late or early or both in the same day. Last of all, Fidelity way underpays IT workers outside of the Northeast in comparison. For example the cost of living in its NH office is comparable to the cost of living in NC and TX but they pay significantly less outside of New England for the same work. That said of course they pay people in India way less but the cost of living is significantly less there too. I like Fidelity, else I wouldn't have worked for them for 15 years. However, they come up short in many areas unfortunately."

"I have worked for Fidelity for over a year. The benefits are great, along with the people. I believe the compensation is below what it should be for the amount of knowledge required, and it is difficult to leave your business group on your own time."

"Fidelity Investments is a great place to work, but not my dream job."
