FMI reviews

When I started looking for a new job it wasn’t out of necessity. Where I was in Portland paid well and had great benefits. As we all know that isn’t everything, the place was not for me, I was looking for something with better culture and respect for their employees. I was done seeing employees mistreated and disrespected. I knew exactly what I wanted in my new company so I started searching slowly and methodically. About four months into my search I came across Fiber Materials. I read some reviews which were very negative, this made me wonder because nothing in the reviews is what was portrayed to me on the phone by the HR representative. I realized reviews by former employees can sometimes be biased so I accepted the interview. I went through the process and the first thing that stood out was the amount of time the CEO of the company spent in my interview process. I realized right away this was a company that was dedicated to changing the past culture and was willing to hire the right people to do that. I started 3 months ago and it has been one of the best companies I have ever worked for. The leadership team is not only active in all policies and everyday activities but they truly care. They want employees to challenge them on issues to not only make FMI better but to make them better leaders. I myself have been challenged and forced to grow. I could go on but I won’t. So if you are looking for a career with a company that cares, commits, and executes then give FMI a chance you will be glad you did.

Prior to my employment at Fiber Materials Inc. I looked at reviews about the company online. The image of what the company does (manufactures composites for aerospace and defense industry) seemed incredibly appealing, but I noticed opinions were lacking. I took mental notes of those reviews and stored them away for a comparison post interview process. It is my opinion that FMI presents its self very professionally and genuinely. Never in my life would I have imagined a CEO sitting in on an interview for a new hire. That demonstrated a level of dedication and care for the people that FMI chooses to be a part of its team. From my experience the work environment at FMI has been dynamic and engaging. The projects and products we develop and/or manufacture have an impact and value in our country, which is rewarding on a personal level. If you told me six months ago I would be working on components for missions to Mars and parts that are focused towards saving astronaut lives, I would have told you, “you're crazy!” Senior management is listening to members of FMI from bottom to top and seeking new ways to: improve the work environment, grow in size, and provide more competitive benefits to employees.
