Pros

A very successful company that invests in its employees and provides opportunities for global travel. Pension is the differentiator above an average benefits package.

Cons

In the past decade, constant management changes have resulted in incessant chaos. What was once a company of dedicated, long-tenured employees is now seeing unprecedented turnover--both voluntary and involuntary. Marketing "leadership" took a turn for the worse following the retirement of the former CMO. New leader was brought in from outside, and has earned a reputation for running a corporate sweatshop. Division was completely reorganized two years ago, resulting in chaos and myopic strategy. Morale is at an all-time low, and the majority of my former colleagues are planning their exits if they aren't being shown the door. Sadly, company loyalty is a thing of the past. Look elsewhere. FM Global's best days are behind it from an employee perspective.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
