Account Engineer

Pros

The role can be interesting if you have accounts that are active in risk improvement and/or growing. Co-workers are great and everyone works together to accomplish goals. FM provides a great work environment. The company provides a car and good work-life balance. Working for FM will provide a plethora of opportunities in the risk/insurance industry.

Cons

Pay is very low in comparison to competitors. FM stresses that competitors pay more because they do not have the training/research costs and that they are unstable. Apparently, if you leave the company, you will never be able to work for FM Global again. In order to move up the ladder, you have to physically move as turnover is low and opportunities are rare. You have to wait until someone quits or retires. The company tries too hard to differentiate themselves from the competition. Marketing efforts could be much better. FM lags in the use of technology.

Pros

Work-life balance, amazing benefits, job security

Cons

There is nowhere to go here. I have been with the company for more than 10 years, taking on multiple roles, tasks, projects, etc. and have had no support in career development. It is somewhat of a gilded cage here, great benefits, etc., but no opportunity for growth, especially if you start out in an admin position, or, quite frankly, are a woman. This is definitely an old school company with old school values, some work, some don't.

Excellent Company, Good Place to Work

Pros

Leader of the industry, set the bar in terms of engineering. Training is outstanding. Work-life balance is dependent on your manager. Company outlook is tremendous.

Cons

Advancement is glacial, and often political. Crushing your metrics, and having excellent intangibles, does not guarantee anything other than a pat on the head. Likewise, the work is extremely independent, and peers can skate by for years producing nothing but steaming piles – only to hand over a project/location full of landmines (with no major penalties from management other than a stern finger wag).
