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of our leading competitors and all the turmoil they're going through (layoffs, distracted management, disempowerment, outdated technology/systems, benefit cuts, low pay and no raises, opaque bonus plans etc.), it makes me further appreciate the value FM Global places in its employees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.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
