Pros

It pains me to read a spate of recent reviews that quite frankly reek of an orchestrated and spiteful campaign by a small minority of disgruntled colleagues wishing to smear our company’s solid reputation. Absolutely in their right to to put themselves and their own personal interests / beliefs above those of the collective common good, and those of our clients, but please do it in a more dignified and professional manner. People have choices - I respect but don’t share theirs - but please have respect for the vast majority of our colleagues that will continue to build our company onwards and upwards.

Cons

None - all pale into insignificance compared to what our company has stood for and the way it has stood by our employees all through the pandemic. We shouldn’t forget other firms slashed pay and made people redundant at the drop of a hat: not FM Global.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
