Pros
As repeated over and over internally by managers: "FM has great benefits and job security". If you are an engineering working for the risk prevention department (field engineer), you will get an "unmatched" training to do your job, which is a great asset in the property risk management industry, making FM Global a great 'school'. The risk management industry is really growing in western countries and FM Global is leading the pack on the engineering side with a lot of research and technical knowledge. If you are an engineer and this industry interests you, taking a first job after university at FM is a great opportunity to boost your technical skills. If you want a 'secure job' in a remote location with scarce job opportunities, you can potentially become a 'resident field engineer' and service the industries around your area - you'd still have to be in the city for a few months in the start of your employment - for training purposes and for them to get to know you and to trust you.
Cons
Brilliant young talent are pushed to merely comply with the FM way of doing things. It is a true talent extinguisher type of culture. No wonder why some many people are on medical leave - they are bored to the point of depression! Management has no clue on how to respond to new generations' needs and the company keeps on losing capable and/or ambitious people who do not care about FM's 'standard answer to everything: be patient, we have great benefits and solid job security".
