Pros

We've come through a few tough years which caused some of us to question and even sometimes have doubts about our company. The 2019 positive operating results were encouraging, lifted morale and dispelled those doubts. But the game-changer is the understanding and commitment from our CEO to all employees during the pandemic crisis. We haven't missed a beat thanks to our people and technology. While the lives and livelihoods of so many have been seriously impacted, the solidity of FM Global means we can remain strong for our families.

Cons

None that would be meaningful in the context of what we're living through, and the great things our CEO and company are doing.

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.
