Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great pay and great people
Cons
Very little work/ life balance
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Excellent Training Program A lot of good people Good Work Life Balance Good career opportunities if you are patient
Cons
Promotions based on who you know as oppose to what you know but that is pretty typical these days for large companies.Terrible middle management who does not know their own employees. HR cannot be trusted. Most everyone is out to save their job even if it means throwing you under the bus to do it. Way too many good people leaving or being laid off. Most managers are opting to keep the "deadwood" because it's easier. 3 manager changes in 4 months in 2015...that should tell you something. I should of went with my gut. Customer Success = Lie to the customer as much as you can.

Good Life and work balance but too traditional thinking. Less opportunities for MBA's

Good Work and life Balance.
Cons
I had a supervisor, he use to take my work and show to his boss to get all credit. Never give any credit to me. He grew fast and made me stuck at analyst level. To grow in the company you need to learn how to butter your boss and key people. Too much relation oriented. Old school people sitting at the top. No encouragement and rewards for smart work. The Bosses dont know how to use excel.

Good to start your career with..but not to continue with

I have been working with FMC for over an year now.. FMC being one on the leading technology provider you have enormous Product catalog which will be very exiting to learn. FMC India being relatively younger organization it feels like extended college with good work/life balance. Pay is also competitive compared to other mechanical Eng companies for freshers. Good company to start as a mechanical engineer,being mainly focused on design of the equipment it becomes challenging at times and pushes the envelope. Being a satellite center FMC India does not have the freedom to reward employees in career aspect beyond certain limit, but if you fortunate enough to travel abroad then you will get rewarded for due diligence.
Cons
Specific to FMC India Too much politics/favoritism - No transparency at all in promoting/rewarding the employees. It takes managers in other locations to recognize and reward your hard-work, where mangers in FMC India have no clue about it. Very much equal pay - Never mind putting extra efforts, you are as normal to management as other is. This annoys all the hardworking people to look for opportunities beyond company, thus leaving the company. Career uncertainty - FMC Global is much better in this aspect, but in FMC India its all darkness.

Good work life balance Other employees are friendly Good culture Benefits and salary are above average for graduates
Cons
Subsea industry is suffering right now due to the low oil price

Pros
I worked as a Business Analyst while pursuing my MBA. I have an engineering degree and the company prefers to hire people with engineering background but I had classmates who did not have engineering background and were hired with the same benefits/salary as mine. My experience at FMC was like no other place! My boss and colleagues were an outstanding support. The team welcome me in a friendly manner and everyone was open to my recommendations. Work/Life balance was perfect! HR has been improving employees' benefits and perks (such as having a Starbucks with 50% discount in the offices, Gym for employees, etc) so it was a great place to work. The Cafeteria (Houston location) has a many options for lunch and is very affordable (the company subsidies it)
Cons
None. I personally love everything about this company.
