Pros

Compensation is fair at all levels; pretty good after you factor in 401k match and future value of pension. You can make more elsewhere, but I think you'd have a worse time doing it. Benefits are good at higher pay grades, but exceptional for administrative paygrades compared to others. Abundant lateral and vertical growth opportunities; though traditionally heavily weighted toward engineering degree holders. Business model is hard to replicate well, lending to company stability. Exceptional training for technical positions Lots of 'little things' type perks. Good management of staff during pandemic. Many were dissatisfied with the vaccine mandate, but it shouldn't be overlooked that for 16 months FM Global's handling has been very good.

Cons

The pace of change to standards and processes can be overwhelming in recent years. It seems we've gotten quite top-heavy, and this could be a contributing factor (with every newly minted important position comes a newly minted vision that has to be implemented or process that must be changed). On the whole, the changes are moving us in the right direction but the volume is just a lot to keep up with.

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.
