Pros
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.
Cons
Growth and development require patience and time. Previous places I have worked had a cafeteria, FMI currently does not. The company would benefit by finding additional ways to bring FMI team members together outside of work for RNR.
