FMC Technologies Employee Reviews about "fmc technologies"

Pros

Great opportunity to move around in the company and experience the many facets of FMC Technologies. Great internal training program that is working to get employees better training and development in their fields.

Cons

Office tensions are high, due to unforeseen future. Lack of motivation among employees. Seems as though upper management is not doing anything to boost morale.

Pros

Decent compensation with a generous 401K plan. FMCTI maintained 9/80 work week with every other Friday off from previous employer CSI.

Cons

The privately held company Control Systems International (CSI) was purchased by FMC Technologies in 2012, but since the purchase, the culture and work environment has deteriorated significantly. Management doesn't communicate with the employees and if the employees raise concerns or ask pointed questions they are chastised as being insubordinate. Human Resources is in bed with management, so employees have no advocate. Many of the long term senior staff from CSI have since left and found positions in other companies.

Pros

1.high salary. 2.friendly work place. 3.good increments.

Cons

1.less career opportunities. 2.I don't think there is a lot to learn in FMC Technologies Hyderabad.

Pros

They are the top in their products for sub sea, and they acquired Schilling Robotics. The 401K matching was great the perks to making it through apprentice portion means no going into the yard (not exactly) when you return from either international or from off shore GOM work. They accommodated the employee with a quality lunch dinner to make up for poor location originally. Safety in Bays and yards is everyone's duty. The $ spent on equipment for the yard and bays was top notch. The training given to Bay workers and the PPE or specialty fork lifts were the best. New filing system being implemented at the time for inventory and tracking was/is futuristic. However, the clicks were evident at this first level but did not lead one to believe it was a systemic problem pervasive through the echelon,

Cons

Management comprised from the inexperience that had never been off shore or in oil and gas industry to the very experienced but did only the least amount to help. subordinates than for themselves.. It favored some and made the work environment hostile for the rest, with far and few in between. Management could lie to colleagues of same capacity or grand stand for their benefit, then turn around and say it did not mean a word it had spoken.. Management would intimidate employees into changing progress reports from good to bad and punish through wage manipulation by not sending employee on jobs. Clicks were very evident and power struggles between training supervisors and assigned management were stressing on the employee. Other management styles were better but not by much. One could not establish a rotation unless in the click of said project and rotating employees out to different ones to keep them fresh and knowledgeable was nonexistent. Fabricated reports, files being secretly, accumulated, and an HR fragmented as well, made you feel you had no life line for help except during the two day training to be more sensitive. The so called open door policies with no retaliation from your superiors or fellow employees did not exist. Salary changes to hourly to then hours cut but per hour wage raised depressed and confused. Moving half the shop to out of state with a mortgage gun to their heads did not help. Even country managers calling subordinates chicken and baby because the NORM levels were above company policy but would play the race card if challenged not to mention taking of stipends and depositing in Wells Fargo to get that money out of country & into their accounts down right illegal. Once a well established individuals get to were one felt safe. It was an island in a stream. FMC with so much potential, such a great reputation, the best technology on the market, and such fine quality personal from earlier days and now is a sad shadow of the former. I do wish growth, success, and a return to the glory of the luster of the pioneers of old.

Pros

Great respect for all levels of the workforce at FMC Technologies. Flexible hours and an attitude that you just need to get the job done, not just be present for face time.

Cons

Heavily engineer driven. Cube farms can deaden morale.
