FMC Technologies Reviews

Pros

Casual work style. No one gets fired unless your attitude is bad. (Don't say anything against Director or his favorite pets other than that everything you do is OK) Good place to get trained (If sent abroad to other FMC location) and join a competitor company with good pay. Engineers are from IITs, NITs and other good colleges and most managers are from worst colleges in India, so it is easy to fool them. Some of...

Carry on good work and ask some competitor companies (Aker, GE, Magnum etc) to also pay FMC India so that test lab can be established as you are training people for those companies too.

Long hours even on weekends Lackadaisical approach of HR Turf battles during design presentations

Advice to Management

Hire the right people for the right job but HR also needs to keep them there, do not expect them to keep staying.

Pros

- You are bound to get anything if you are a "CHATU". In other words, keep your team lead/manager engaged with you for all the irrelevant talks you might have from new cell phones to new data recharges and it is bound to give you benefits (a foreign tour or higher salary increment) - No one cares about you, what you do. All the higher management wants is billable hours and on time delivery. Its the other people in...

Cons

- Big and Bigger talks - Don't get fooled by company's leadership status in the global market. They will try to sell you everything you want but, remember this is FMC India. You need to keep minimum expectations to not to get surprised by the fancy talks and no results - Irrelevant experiences of managers - all the managers are from a different background rather than oil and gas sector ( its my honor to tell you the...

Advice to Management

- i don't feel the need to waste the time here. The HR and Management of this organization changes every six months. (you can easily guess the stability in this company)

Pros

Very good place to begin working for mechanical engineers. Pure core job and fmc being leader in subsea with 70% market share, and the most innovative, means you really get challenging and pioneering tasks. You don't need any soft skills, or need to sell yourself. This being an oem, it relies only on good engineers. The issue in India office is people comparing their salaries with google and microsoft and not with companies...

Cons

Management is not really keen to ensure proper justice. It waits for the people who cry , shout and rewards them. The performers sit in a corner honestly working, without much hue and cry, but in the end the people who cry and have GOOD TERMS WITH management &PERCEIVED BEING AN EXPERT WITHOUT ACTUALLY BEING ONE, get almost the same treatment and opportunities ( in some teams much more) than actual stars. This is the biggest...

Advice to Management

One advice to upper management - get rid of sycophants and have a fool proof appraisal system. Their are no sticks.. and most of the carrots are distributed to non deserving people who lick the boots. Not that performing people aren't rewarded, they just deserve much more.

Pros

I have been working with FMC for over an year now.. FMC being one on the leading technology provider you have enormous Product catalog which will be very exiting to learn. FMC India being relatively younger organization it feels like extended college with good work/life balance. Pay is also competitive compared to other mechanical Eng companies for freshers. Good company to start as a mechanical engineer,being...

Cons

Specific to FMC India Too much politics/favoritism - No transparency at all in promoting/rewarding the employees. It takes managers in other locations to recognize and reward your hard-work, where mangers in FMC India have no clue about it. Very much equal pay - Never mind putting extra efforts, you are as normal to management as other is. This annoys all the hardworking people to look for opportunities beyond...

Advice to Management

Lay down a strong employee retention policy. Remember company is full of young people with lot of excitement, show the recognition they feel they deserve and provide opportunities based on skill rather than favoritism.
