FM Global Reviews

Cons

Advancement can be slow due to longjevity of staff.

Cons

The hiring process is difficult, but I suppose they want to make sure that they only want the right people. I went in for 4 or 5 interviews and computer-skills tests. It was worth is in the end.

Cons

Many managers have little to no respect for their employees and some can be abusive, which is tolerated by the company despite being aware of this going on. Almost no promotional opportunities. Although convincing themselves diversity is valued their version of diversity is hiring female instead of male engineers. Many employees are overworked.

Cons

- Not a lot of challenging work in software jobs.
- Mostly internal projects

Cons

The agile transformation has made morale very bad in the home office. Even people not affected say they will be next. Not a good work situation now.

Cons

You are required to travel, but this is estimated around 25-75% depending on your position, there could be weekend travel again this varies with position, example claims and field engineer positions may have occasional weekend travel, management can be VERY micro manage-y, there also some position titles that require weekend work this is because saturdays and sundays still count against your timeliness, you dont have to work, but it can become an issue when they track your metrics some managers may be more serious about this than others,

Cons

- If you are a young professional looking to advance in your career and climb the ladder this is NOT the place for you. Engineers who are at the company have been here for decades, meaning there are limited opportunities open to move up. The promotion policy is outdated ( takes at least four years to be promoted once, as your first year's reviews do not count towards promotions).

- They call this an "engineering" job and require at least a bachelors in engineering although you will not use any engineering skills that you learn and practice in college which I find very frustrating. This is mostly a paper-pushing job. You will have stacks of folders and papers in your office. If you stay here for a long time you will have a very difficult time finding a new job because you have not been building any in demand engineering skills ( I am finding this out now).

- Extremely outdated work culture. This is probably because the majority of employees here are 50 years old plus! Management shuts down ideas related to improving culture because they do not want to invest money into it.

Cons

Need more employment opportunities for support staff

Cons

Zero growth opportunities. You’ll waste prime working years with little opportunity to gain additional experience. Management is passive aggressive towards employees, and will force people out of positions or the company for any perceived slight, which creates a toxic and hostile work situation

Cons

Potential for limited growth depending on office/department.
