Pros

Good benefits, good coworkers for the most part

Cons

Where to even begin. FM Global has completely lost its way. They are hemorrhaging employees and seemingly doing nothing to help those who remain loyal to the company. The loss of field engineers is felt at all levels and it seems the company has forgotten that we are an engineering based company. They do not staff adequately and then scramble when people either retire, get promoted or leave entirely. Did you not see this coming? Meanwhile, dedicated employees continue to get overloaded to the point of burnout. And then, when folks do get promoted, mediocrity and brown nosing is preferred over those who deliver solid, consistent and exemplary work. Is this how you are rewarded the few who remain loyal? Rest assured, we will not put up with this much longer.

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.
