-> 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.

...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!!!
