Pros

Benefits are ok.. I have no complaints with the staff and management at the campus I worked. Work load is manageable.

Cons

As others have stated this company has taken a hard left turn in politics. Become WOKE or they will show you the door. FM Global prides themselves on inclusion and diversity. While this is a great idea, they do not live up to their claims. They will deny your religious beliefs and give you no explanation as to their decision. My body my choice will only apply to abortions at this company apparently. Environment inside the research and approvals labs is definitely another con. You will be expected to do blue collar work for blue collar pay in a dirty cancerous environment. While they will supply you with whatever safety equipment and training necessary, it is impossible to avoid touching and breathing in the toxins you will be exposed to every day. Noone who has been their long term and has worked in these labs looks healthy. You will be reminded about the benefits every time you talk about opportunities elsewhere as if money promised to you when you retire will replace morals, health and dignity. Limited opportunity to advance without a college degree.

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.
