Never Quite Know What to Make of FM Global

Pros

A great company at times that does some really great things in its industry. Generally takes care of its people and good benefits. Good career opportunities if you’re willing to move. Some really great people in the trenches...

Cons

Very “silo” organization. Promotions often go to “club” and second generation family members, married couples, etc. Very difficult to keep motivated in such an environment. Constantly promote college grads to next positions who lack experience and generally don’t value experienced field engineers.

Pros

Decent benefits package Yearly merit raise Good business model

Cons

I shake my head in disbelief everyday. I don’t understand how a huge corporation has turned into what it has: an absolute disgrace. Either upper management is the same or they are extremely unaware or don’t care or all of the above. But all good things come to an end and there will come a day that FM will either be sued and lose good people and struggle to run their operations with constant turnover with a bad reputation that clients will hear about. Nobody will remain in a toxic environment promoted by the managers except their backstabbing favorites, friends and family who will do the same to them once they feel they are of no use to anymore. There is bullying, favoritism, nepotism, employees that act like animals to other coworkers and the managers laugh and cover it up, no work from home, rumors spread that are slander and defamation of character that managers do nothing about, and this creates a beyond low morale and high stress level. Who would work here? Nobody wastes their time filing a complaint because HR is all friends with the managers and cover it all up. The managers hate their employees and talk about all of them behind their backs (favorites included) There was a time I would highly recommend working here. Now well if you want to work in an insane asylum where the crazies are running it so be it. But my advice is to stay far far away and go to a normal company.
