A great place to work mostly

Pros

A very stable company that offers tremendous benefits that almost outweigh the salaries that are typically lower than the current market.

Cons

Every decision is done by committee, very slow to adapt to an ever-changing marketplace/workforce, very focused on the development and promotion of engineers and women (almost exclusively).

Pros

The role can be interesting if you have accounts that are active in risk improvement and/or growing. Co-workers are great and everyone works together to accomplish goals. FM provides a great work environment. The company provides a car and good work-life balance. Working for FM will provide a plethora of opportunities in the risk/insurance industry.

Cons

Pay is very low in comparison to competitors. FM stresses that competitors pay more because they do not have the training/research costs and that they are unstable. Apparently, if you leave the company, you will never be able to work for FM Global again. In order to move up the ladder, you have to physically move as turnover is low and opportunities are rare. You have to wait until someone quits or retires. The company tries too hard to differentiate themselves from the competition. Marketing efforts could be much better. FM lags in the use of technology.

Pros

Relaxed environment. Consistent work with usually a yearly bonus.

Cons

Raises are minimal. They have a rating system where the highest is basically unobtainable. Sometimes office politics are more important than actual work product.
