Pros

Good healthcare benefits Flexible remote work policy

Cons

There have been atleast 3 major pivots in the past few years - the recent one being growth via contractors without making the contractors accountable for their output. The entire technology department is a mess. Power is concentrated amongst few people. If they like you, then you will be a success here , else its back to the shadows for you. And for them to like you, you have to drink the kool-aid and be agreeable. Growth within the company is based on relationships and the teams you work in - people are not measured on equal terms and there is rampant favoritism. Every new employee is like a new toy and becomes the flavor of the month until they are replaced by a newer employee. There is no hope for alternative viewpoints. Classic case of group-think but most of them do not even realize that. This company should be a hard pass for now but hopefully they change.

Pros

The work is incredibly interesting and engaging. The local culture is tight knit and individual contributors can develop close friendships.

Cons

FM Global has move from hiring competent engineers to hiring diversity, inclusion and equity engineers. Management does not listen to individual contributors and rules from corporate with a heavy hand. I would not recommend the current company to a friend, but four years ago I would…

Pros

The perks are the bait they dangle in front of your face in order to take control of your life. Take the keys, cash, and computers and you’ve signed your life away.

Cons

Micro-management No work life balance Workaholic culture “Family Structure” means they want to know who what when and where your are at all times. Pressures you to move “within” traveling distance of office despite being a 90% remote position (I should be able to live where I want!not just within a 20 min commute bc YOU want it that way) No actual vacations you are expected to work On call 24/7 If you like being out doors with 30 lbs steel toed boots and a 20 lbs back pack in the heat of summer and dead of winter trudging through boiler rooms, and climbing literal skyscrapers then this is the place for you. MICRO-MANAGEMENT HR lack of professionalism, when I left HR asked me how I thought “I had the right” to leave them and that I was stupid for leaving “a great company” and if I really was smart and a good engineer I would think again. (The audacity) I cannnot list all of the cons for they are far to great…
