Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! We love hearing that our employees find that they have a good work/life balance as we value this highly. We are constantly working to ensure FM Global operates on a global perspective and appreciate your feedback in this area.
* 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.
