Highly recommend FM Global, but go into it with your eyes open.
Pros
BIGGEST PRO: FM Global truly cares about the people and making sure you enjoy great perks, compensation, and benefits. - Great work life balance, flexible hours, occasional work from home (occasional!), etc. - Work environment truly depends on your manager. - Great benefits such as 100% paid pension plan and 401(k). - Lots of training opportunities. - 6-weeks bonus potential. - FM Global's strong business model is resilient to both strong and weak economies. - Great renovated work environment, people are humble, and very friendly. - Good compensation when considering the overall benefits package. - Lots of opportunity for horizontal career changes (easier to move laterally than up the chain).
Cons
BIGGEST CON: FM Global is a very conservative company, so things take a long time to actually get traction and move forward. You are constantly having to “play the good soldier” and stay in line. They aren’t big on radical changes or ideas. - Be prepared to convince someone else your idea was there's in order to get any support. - Work life balance skews the wrong way when you are good but that isn’t always rewarded or recognized. - Middle management not given the power necessary to make needed decisions, which slows down progress. - Difficult to move up the chain. People stay with the company for a long, LONG time, which reduces advancement opportunities for others.
