Pros

FM Global has an incredible culture with an abundance of brilliant people throughout its very large software engineering department. It's a fast paced agile environment that's well staffed with all the right people in the right roles working in concert towards implementing a robust, high secure, modern enterprise platform of cloud and on premise solutions. It's perfect for those who enjoy pushing the envelope and delivering enterprise grade solutions. Compensation and benefits are top notch. It has an incredible employer-sponsored pension plan. It's not difficult to understand why so many people have been with the company 10+, 15+, 25+ years.

Cons

Speaking from a software engineering perspective, it's probably not a great fit for people who struggle with being a self driver with a disciplined work ethic to keep up in this fast paced environment. Also, there are still some kinks to workout with aligning business objectives with agile development and coordination challenges across so many teams.

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.
