      Pros

      Pay and benefits is decent, but I'm confident I was underpaid
      There are nursing rooms available at Gears Rd.
      Gym with locker room is available at Gears Rd.
      Company culture is good
      Racially diverse workforce

      Cons

      Finding parking at Gears Rd is difficult if arriving after 9 am.
      Like every greedy corporation that is publicly traded, you are just a NUMBER and the number of years you've worked with company won't matter when there are workforce reductions.
      The severance package is TERRIBLE (at least for non-managerial roles)
      No transferable skills if working as project engineer in CDM

      Advice to Management

      Reduce wait time (18 months) for transitioning to another role.
      Provide more networking opportunities for employees to see what other departments/roles are like within the company.
      Increase maternal leave timeframe.
      Small teambuilding is better than department teambuilding.
      Why don't you put more focus on employee satisfaction? Less turnover, less need for mass hiring, and a lesser need for layoffs.

      I worked at FMC Technologies full-time

      Pros

      FMC Technologies is overall a very good place to work. The employees were great. FMC has competitive salaries and a great 401k match. Management was as transparent as possible during downturn.

      Cons

      Personally I was not a fan of the health plans available, however the push for all high deductible plans is pretty wide spread.

      Advice to Management

      I hope management has continued to maintain the good working culture even with the merger to Technip.
