Pros
It is a highly collaborative culture where you can roll your sleeves up and take part in many different things. There is a lot of internal enthusiasm and excitement about the product and its direction. The culture and values have been good on paper, and only in the last year or so has the company followed those closer in practice. Previously they turned a blind eye to toxic behavior. I’m glad I spent some time at the company, but I would not recommend it to others going forward.
Cons
As with any company, if faith in the leadership does not exist then that has a trickle down effect. Certain leaders are still new in their roles and lack basic skills on how to treat people and empower other fellow leaders. There is/was tremendous instability in certain departments for a long time that has led to a struggle in the go to market strategy and subsequent execution. The total addressable market for additive, and the desired sales projections don’t really lineup, which makes working at nTopology a risky venture.
