RecommendsNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at FMC Technologies for more than 3 years
Pros
7% matching 401k (3% vested after 3 years), 3 weeks vacation, Good work/life balance. Tons of project work in good times. Lots of opportunity to advance your career if you choose to do so (lots of sideways movement, only upward movement if you obtain an MBA). Layoff packages aren't so bad. Good management (they generally leave you alone if you're kicking butt...aka..providing on-time delivery so we look good in the face of the customer and management gets their big bonuses).
Cons
Lots of red tape. Good ol' boys club in management (don't get me wrong, most of them are good people, but you just have to be in their club to play at that level). Lower and middle management are tend to parrot orders from the top and are generally do not have the power to do anything but within the scope of their tiny circle of power.

RecommendsNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at FMC Technologies full-time for more than a year
Pros
Work life balance at FMC is very good, I was able to negotiate extra PTO and could use it at my own discretion. There are a great group of folks working there and all understand the hurdles you face working at FMC.
Cons
Turnover is ridiculous, especially at the operational level at the field locations. As soon as you build re pore with someone, poof they are gone. FMC Can't seem to retain the strong, smart, and sociable employees. I think it is honestly due to the fact that upper management has done a pretty awful job of providing guidance on how to navigate in the industry today. Every couple of months there is a new re-organization of the division and new managers, it provides a pretty unstable culture which creates fear within the employees to even want to stay.

"Your experience will depend heavily upon your manager."
- Work/Life Balance★★★★★
- Culture & Values★★★★★
- Career Opportunities★★★★★
- Compensation and Benefits★★★★★
- Senior Management★★★★★
RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at FMC Technologies full-time for more than a year
Pros
When the industry is doing well, it is very easy to move around the company to gain experience and try different things. When you have a good manager, you end up with more flexibility that allows you to maintain work-life balance while focusing on your work instead of tripping on the myriad rules governing employees.
Cons
Having a bad manager can easily make your work life (and to some degree, your home life) miserable. Employees are governed not only by listed rules, but also by FMC's "core values", meaning that anything that can be argued as running counter to one of the core values is a potential write-up.
