FMC Technologies reviews

- You are bound to get anything if you are a "CHATU". In other words, keep your team lead/manager engaged with you for all the irrelevant talks you might have from new cell phones to new data recharges and it is bound to give you benefits (a foreign tour or higher salary increment) - No one cares about you, what you do. All the higher management wants is billable hours and on time delivery. Its the other people in different locations (Houston/Singapore/Norway) who better deal with setting scopes and deadlines for projects. Why a pro? - you can set up deadlines according to your needs and managers in India will be happy to see you delivering projects at right time. - A good mix of talented freshers (mind you, the intake of fresh grads is drastically reducing from top tier colleges as FMC india is not able to fulfill the needs and retain people from IIT's). Anyhow, it has a good atmosphere with lot of young and chill people willing to put efforts to learn new things. - A better work-personal life balance. you will get time to enjoy your personal life provided you do proper planning of your tasks. This place is good for people having hometown in Hyderabad but for outsiders, you get way too less leaves to go to enjoy at some tourist spot without loss of pay. - international work ex - Yes, you might chance to visit and work at different locations (Houston/ Norway/ Laban/ Brazil / Etc. ) but it is getting increasingly rare (no thanks to oil market slump) but as mentioned earlier, if you are a CHATU you might see your name appearing in the VISA list quite often. - Learning - If you are new, you will be happy to learn the industry jargon's and few amazing drawings and animations of machines and other equipment's. But, mind you only PPT's and videos. Little or no hands on experience in FMC India. God knows, a testing lab exist which keeps running a particular test all year long , so nothing new to learn in it. If you are experienced, be ready for a surprise, the top management has no work experience in oil and gas sector. No one is going to teach you learn and knowledge transfer is only in words. You need to scroll through PPTs and videos to learn things yourself. - Supportive people - working people have a good team spirit and help each other quite often. people are approachable and are always ready to share their experiences and clear your doubts. A hands up to the young people out there who have energy and are willing to make a mark. But, again a catch, the motivation has been decreasing with all the good people leaving the company (attrition is around 30% on minimum conservative estimate)

- Lot of learning opportunities if you get a site opportunity - Stakeholders(Houston, Norway, Dunfermline or Singapore) recognize your talent in no time and support with high level of responsibility and ready to give full ownership of projects - Young blood all around so good scope for lots of new ideas (although never utilized this opportunity)
