Our Culture

At FISBA, we’re a performance-oriented photonics company that embraces open and collaborative communication, emphasizing trust and accountability. Our teams and company grow not only through active team cohesion initiatives but also through our company’s focus and support of the professional career development of every individual.

We know our best strategies arise from cross-organizational conversations rooted in mutual respect and shared leadership.

Self-discipline and accountability from top to bottom are the norm, with a particular focus on the context of the on-the-ground dynamics, as well as the important role that authentic motivation and influence plays in responding to change happening around us.

The dynamic and international environment regularly presents employees with new challenges and provides incentives for personal development. We offer career prospects in many areas including our state-of-the-art production facilities, design and engineering department, product management, manufacturing, and sales.
