Career development is not available for all. Lack the proper tools to get the job done efficiently. Human Resources is no longer a resource for the employee, will not make a decision. Technology is lacking and the ability to service the existing.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your comments. FM Global is experiencing a lot of organizational change at this time, and we appreciate you bearing with us through this as we work to improve the company. We are grateful for the feedback we receive from all employees.
* 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.
