Pros
Fun culture and great coworkers. Lots of really creative and intelligent minds working there. Cute designs and gifts made custom by Ops. There’s a niche for everyone. Big budget for events and catering (when that was a thing).
Cons
The company is being run like it’s still under 200 employees. Senior leaders (most inexperienced) seem to just be focused on getting to IPO and cashing out. The lack of diversity in the general employee population (let alone ANY senior leaders) is appalling and embarrassing. And the cherry on top is the ridiculous pay gap. When they recruit you, they try to sell you on the culture (food, events), potential (have big impact with little bureaucracy in the way), and equity. What they don’t tell you is they are paying you almost half of what you can make at any other similarly sized/stage company in the area, and they have zero intention of rectifying that. If you want to work somewhere with grown up benefits (like 401k match, decent parental leave and support) and enough salary to be able to afford to buy a house, this isn’t the company for you. Go to Formlabs if you want to work at a young, fun company and gain lots of experience trying new things with little structure.
