      Pros

      interesting work, getting to know many different industries, learning a lot, mostly well organized, stable, development and adavancement perspectives - however, mostly only internationally

      Cons

      highly arrogant overall attitude, disrespect towards almost any other company, weak local middle and uper management: incomepetent, not interested, overtaxed, unfair Jobs and positions locally are not fair game, full of politics, no equal requirements to deliver for all, some get away with early leaving constantly while others work very long hours Partly very lengthy travel to remote sites under horrible conditions

      FM Global is a company of opportunity.

      Pros

      • Employment stability. • Excellent training. • Opportunity for work related travel. • Good opportunites for promotion if you: show initiative; are willing to work; are prepared to relocate (city, or country); and are prepared to take those opportuniites when they arise. • Reasonable benefits. • Excellent management at Executive level.

      Cons

      • The trade off of employment stability is that salaries, in Loss Prevention Engineering in particular, are not so competitive. However, if you are prepared to look for opportunites in the insurance side of the business, then your good performance will be rewarded. • Approach to Engineering is very conservative and somewhat blinkered in that it is very reticent to acknowledge loss prevention initiatives that originate outside of the company. The approach of Engineering Management is, at times, somewhat patronizing. It did feel like that I was back in high school at times. • Quality of middle management is variable. Promotion practices for middle management do not always rigorously evaluate the management skills of candidates.

      Pros

      Superb colleagues, a common purpose, a world-beating product, a hugely respected industry leader, engaging with highly-aligned, world-class clients around the globe: doesn't get much better!

      Cons

      If you see this as a disadvantage, we're not a "get rich quick", flashy, boom-and-bust company!
