Fidelity Investments Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I worked for Fidelity for a total of 10 years and would be there today if it were not for budget constraints. While at Fidelity, I held a number of positions; strengthening my skills set and knowledge base. I was given all the chances to do more. I just didn't have the time. The decision to lay me off was a business decision that needed to be made. I probably would have been asked to relocate if I had stayed. The relocation would not have been good for my family."
