Pros

Benefits, as others have said.

Cons

Picture a company where employee satisfaction was at an all time high and company growth was unparalleled during a time of global uncertainty. And then imagine doing everything possible to create a contentious atmosphere by ignoring employee feedback and well being. That's FM Global. Just before the world shut down during Covid, the company started moving towards a flexible workplace by offering a hybrid approach. The idea was to focus on work-life balance through the understanding that employee happiness was key. Fast forward to October 2023 and here we are heading back to the office 5 days. Tone deaf approach, laughable reasons for the bait and switch, all around ignorance and disrespect...Did you know that working from home can cause muscular atrophy, with the only solution being in the office? DYK that the only way to pass experience to new hires is by being in the office? DYK that if you leave the company there's no guarantee you'll be hired back? These are all quotable reasons...threats? for why the "return to office culture" is needed again. Forget employee surveys dictating an immense preference for hybrid work...THIS is a return to inflexibility...THIS is FM Global!

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.
