      Pros

      For this area it is really the only large corporation to be employed by, where benefits are available.

      Cons

      Upper management (supervision and above) are fairly incompetent when it comes to people. They need need to have a little more field experience before they make judgements. And that is not all of them just a select few.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Because the company is so large and diverse, and because they are committed to acquiring and keeping talent, once you are hired there are a lot of opportunities for movement in many directions: people interested in moving overseas can apply for positions all over the world; if the corporate culture of FMI proper doesn't work for an individual, they can move to one of the integrated subsidiaries (e.g. Climax Molybdenum), etc..

      Cons

      I was only at FMI a short time, but I got the impression that it moves very slowly. For an MBA, promotion into the lowest management levels takes about 2 years, and it seems to take another 3 (5 years total) to have direct reports. FMI proper is also very bureaucratic, with many decisions requiring several levels of approval, and pages and pages upon policies to control internal processes.
