FMC Technologies Employee Reviews about "oil and gas"

Pros

Flexibility is there, though not to great extent. Ownership of work. Work environment in nice; good friendly relationship b/n employees. Scope to learn a lot of things.

Cons

Stubborn management! HR policies are bad often, horrible sometimes :( Company shows no attitude to improve the infrastructure :( :( FMC India has very poor infrastructure and IT resources. Company somehow doesn't feel it's a thing to improve, at least it appears like that. Ratio of 'software licenses to employees' is pathetic. This often creates frustration. No stress on hands on training of oil and gas equipment. The focus always is on efficiency. Pay structure not par with other companies in the industry.

Pros

Employees are great to work with. Lots of good training. Flexible hours. 401k plan is good. Decent relocation package.

Cons

No room to advance within the company unless you were hired before the boom or were hired in as a managerial position. Middle-lower management is bottlenecked. Typically on the lower end of the pay scale in the oil/gas industry. Lack of disclosure by upper management.

Pros

Great cultural. Flexible hours. Fast pace. Great benefits. Advancement is available, great training available.

Cons

Oil & gas market is down. Jobs are being changed and eliminated.

Pros

stress free environment and easy to work

Cons

not much growth prospects in oil and gas

Pros

-great opportunities for advancement -great benefits (401k match dollar for dollar up to 5%, plus they give you another 4% on top of that. medical, dental, vision, all there. and GREAT for expecting parents, especially mother's. the leave of absence for having a child even extends to adoption!) -great atmosphere around other great people who all work hard towards a common goal. -the location is convenient and awesome. we have a carwash company that will wash your car while you work, 2 cafes and starbucks, a gym, a parking garage, great security, and a walking path that wraps around the facility. -they have a great educational reimbursement program so that you can go to school and work (as long as you are pursuing something that benefits the company, obviously) -you will start with 15 days of paid vacation, and gain more as you work for the company longer. also, you can roll over 10 days in to the next year if you don't use them.

Cons

-it's part of the oil and gas industry, so there is always an imminent threat of layoffs -sometimes there is room for process improvement when it involves pay, as far as how and when you'll be eligible for a raise (for some positions, mine included)

Pros

Great benefits, good people, give you everything you need as long as you work hard.

Cons

Long hours (12 hour shifts), shift work, oil and gas industry is always up and down.

Pros

The people there are very helpful and are generally happy to answer questions. Training was good before the Oil and Gas downturn.

Cons

Training and raises all but ended during the Oil and Gas downturn. The company over hired when Oil and Gas prices were up and had to make drastic reductions in force which has created a very tense atmosphere.

Pros

Good Money I enjoy what I do! I have learned a lot. I would stay for many years but I don't feel safe in this industry due to the downturn

Cons

Layoffs... Oil & Gas industry

Pros

Good management, personal development and professional growth.

Cons

Company heavily tied-up on major oil and gas operators contracts and during down cycle huge layoff period.

Pros

Good company to work for and a leader in the subsea industry.

Cons

Hired individuals in senior management positions without any related oil/gas industry experience. This created difficulty in getting the job done efficiently
