Fidelity Investments Director Software Engineering salaries in Chennai (Updated 2025)

Likes

Good culture in the company Good learning opportunities if you go after them Opportunity to move across job roles - your manager does not need to approve (at least policy is like this).

Dislikes

...moving out and/or asked to leave now. These roles were created only 2 years ago. Compensation (including structure) is not great. Many other smaller companies structure the compensation to help reduce income tax for employees. Nothing of that sort here. You're on your own paying high taxes. Without "bech", you're always out of people to run the organisation. Backfill takes at least 4-6 months.

Pay is low compared to other financial services companies. Management is not good and plays politics. Quality of work that we get won't be that great.

-> Work life balance is awesome -> Job security is really awesome when it comes to the type of industry we're working in where employees getting fired is everyday affair. -> Decent oncall allowance for support -> Office cabs will pick you up from literally anywhere in Bangalore -> Manager and PO wont sit on your head all the time to get the work done unless its taking really really long, you take your time to get it done. -> Last December we got extra 1.5 lac bonus other than regular perfomance bonus. -> 3 times meal and evening snacks while hybrid model is going on.

Dislikes

...ems i face as everyone face them in literally all companies from time to time. The only general improvement Fidelity needs is that salary may need a serious revision to match the industry standards. Rest all is good, you can literally retire working here!!!
