Pros

I continue to be extremely impressed with the innovative and market-leading changes my company makes (not bad for a 180 yr old New England insurance carrier!). Furthermore, comparing Glassdoor employee feedback with those of our leading competitors and all the turmoil they're going through (layoffs, distracted management, disempowerment, outdated technology/systems, benefit cuts, low pay and no raises, opaque bonus plans etc.), it makes me further appreciate the value FM Global places in its employees and how competitive our salaries and benefits are. I also really admire the direction right from the top of our company - not lip service- to make diversity happen in our company.

Cons

Opportunity to be more flexible with home working. While efficiency gains have been notable in recent years, some initiatives have shifted work from experienced back-office staff to front line with questionable gains.
