Pros

Flexible scheduling Some really great people

Cons

Unrealistic expectations with regards to workload Low pay relative to competitors Lack of sense of completion FMS CEO makes demeaning comments to staff and minimizes people's contributions Constant questioning why things are late while not giving the support necessary to succeed. All focus is on winning future business instead of servicing current business properly Lack of proper R&D High Turnover Lack of experienced engineers Hired R&D from outside without any relevant product knowledge Timid management staff who are afraid of the FMS CEO Annual reviews are constantly late with no communication Low raises and bonuses, if you get one, which is rare CEO in general Limited advancement, it seems you have to threaten to quit to get anything you want or deserve. Only able to hire entry level engineers because they will not pay for experience Completely reactionary to issues Overall I don't recommend this company for anyone. I worked here for over 10 years and in the last 5 it has been going downhill and I see no change in culture or attitude so it will not change any time soon.

Pros

There are some very nice, and talented people working here - unfortunately none of them are in charge of anything, and they are all being exploited.

Cons

This company is as dysfunctional as they come. Division CEO is a child, trapped in a man's body. Example of his incompetence and immaturity -- there is another glassdoor review posted July 25, 2016 by an anonymous Grand Rapids, MI employee entitled "engineer." It is a 5-star review that says "great company, great CEO, etc." I happen to know for a fact, that this review is a phony post - made by the division CEO himself, in response to all of the negative posts made here since he became CEO back in 2013. Advice to prospective employees: Stay Away. Don't leave your current job thinking this might be a step toward advancement - it isn't - and never will be. This company is a career-destroyer.

Pros

Company operates in diverse industries; defense, marine, aerospace, railroad, commercial, etc. Provides broad spectrum of experience in several industries.

Cons

Management says one thing, and does another. Salaries are average and annual increases are pathetic, never keep up with the real cost of living. "Advancement" usually means getting more work, more responsibility, longer hours, maybe a fancier title; but no additional money. Little or no possibility of meaningful advancement.
