FM reviews

Technical advancement within the field engineering and technical sector is limited when compared to other positons such as Account Engineering, Account Management, Underwriting. This company values their engineering staff, but the technical portion of FM Global is designed to cultivate engineers who are "generalists" of many subjects, with limited potenial for advancing too deeply into individual technical specialties. It is tough to get recognition for technical expertise in any subjects, beyond that of the FM Global Data Sheets, unless you are at the corporate headquarters. Very few of the technical managers are involved in outside technical or professional organizations, so your abilitie to use them as mentors is limited.

- Management doesn't care about work-life balance, only about billable time. - Extremely high stress level, many people in the group (myself included) have developed health related issues because of it. - When you start the job you're told you will be required to have about 12-18 months of training before you are on your own; you are on your own from day 1 to deal with clients who are expecting you to be an expert on the subject matter, I have been here over 5 years and have yet to receive any of the promised training. - While tuition reimbursement is technically a benefit the couple members of my group looking to go for advanced degrees were either given a hard time about it or denied altogether even though their desired degrees and current job titles met all requirements for reimbursement. - Mid level managers will throw engineers "under the bus" in front of a client first and ask questions later
