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.

Pros

Nice memories of what was once an amazing place to work. The early days were full of smart, passionate people, genuine collaboration, and a real sense of purpose.

Cons

After 10 years and six rounds of investment, it’s disheartening to see this company still operate under the illusion that it’s a startup. Despite the time, funding, and opportunities, leadership has failed to evolve. Decisions are made reactively, not strategically, and there's a persistent unwillingness to acknowledge the maturity—or responsibilities—that should come with a decade in business. It’s increasingly clear that the company is rushing toward an exit, likely driven by investor pressure to show some kind of return. As a result, there’s constant turbulence: shifting priorities, chaotic restructures, and erratic changes in strategy. Long-term vision has taken a back seat to short-term damage control. The result? Constant layoffs, financial instability, and a deeply demoralized workforce. Many of the most talented and driven people have already left—or worse, were let go—leaving behind a team largely unprepared to move the company forward. The culture of innovation and collaboration that once made this a promising place to work has been replaced by confusion, poor communication, and short-sighted decisions. The people used to be the best part—smart, passionate, and collaborative—but that spirit has all but vanished. What remains is a skeleton crew, limited in both resources and morale, trying to navigate a company that seems unsure of what it even wants to be anymore. Frankly, I hesitate to even say whether anyone should apply here—I’m not convinced the company has the financial runway to hire at all. Unless you're comfortable stepping into an environment with zero stability and unclear direction, I’d strongly recommend avoiding this one. There are far better places to grow, contribute, and be valued.
