Pros
Formlabs is the place to be for high achievers looking to work on high complexity consumer products in a fast paced environment. While, reading through many of the comments here, much of the negative feedback may be accurate, many are comparing to a traditional environment or company. Formlabs is not a typical company and not for someone looking for a remote, 25 hour a week job. Formlabs is a place to start or significantly up level a career for a smart, hard working person. The learning opportunities that will be given to hard working people who demonstrate results through their work is unparalleled and gave me an immense amount of tools to later go off and start my own company. I was able to work with some of the smartest and most talented people ever working on industry leading products with immense technical complexity. Having seen many on similar pathways, the largest difference between people who excelled here vs complained were the ones who embraced the intensity of s startup and matched passion to ship great products. If thats not your vibe, then undoubtedly Formlabs wont be the right place to grow and level up. There is plenty of flexibility afforded both day to day and even over a year and is a great place for high achievers.
Cons
- Compensation is lower than it might be elsewhere - High emphasis is put on technical prowess over much else
