Cons
BIGGEST CON: FM Global is a very conservative company, so things take a long time to actually get traction and move forward. You are constantly having to “play the good soldier” and stay in line. They aren’t big on radical changes or ideas. - Be prepared to convince someone else your idea was there's in order to get any support. - Work life balance skews the wrong way when you are good but that isn’t always rewarded or recognized. - Middle management not given the power necessary to make needed decisions, which slows down progress. - Difficult to move up the chain. People stay with the company for a long, LONG time, which reduces advancement opportunities for others.
