Many people think it's great. I think it's crap. But I'm sure it's not this way across the board. - Anonymous employee FM Employee Review

Pros

Good medical benefits. Bonus incentive based on company performance is great. PTO for volunteering Company match on charity donations is outstanding

Cons

Not enough time off given. It takes 15 years of service to earn 4 weeks of vacation. The technology for such a large company is severely lacking. Opportunity is available only to certain people. The company chooses many times not to promote within...for some people. Managers cut down employees to their peers on a consistent basis. Managers treat employees like children instead of competent adults. I say find a place with better promos unless you want to be stuck in the same spot for decades. Dead end job if you're not an engineer.

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.
