Pros

People people people. Really fun group. Unlimited vacation is great, food at work will make you full all the time. Lots of 3d printers to play with. You can learn a lot here. The people are the biggest pro by far. Everyone is really nice and insanely smart. This is a great place to be if you want to work with some very smart folks. The hours in some departments are super flexible (mostly in engineering, sales and customer facing roles are more structured).

Cons

-Notice that a lot of these reviews come in spurts. That is because Formlabs has someone email the company/go around asking for reviews. "We can win an award if we get so many reviews blah blah blah". These reviews are not organic. -Notice that many of the reviews are written by people who have been with the company for less than a year. They haven't seen the repeated issues. -Pay is low. -Very nepotistic at the top. -If you don't have a manager that campaigns for you, good luck. -Limited/inconsistent opportunities for mentorship and real growth. -A good place for a few years out of college, but might not be the best long term career. -CEO is super chummy with some folks, and gruff with the majority.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. We do read every review that comes through Glassdoor and it's important to us to know where we excel, and where we need to improve. Our recent internal survey has led to a myriad of changes (including upwards manager feedback sessions, ect.). Growth and career development are things we are actively working to improve and evolve as we expand. We do ask new, current and veteran employees to review us on Glassdoor and we welcome them to share their experiences here honestly. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. - People Ops

Pros

Lots of flexibility in making your work your own Working around other incredibly talented engineers is great, especially for a young engineer. Most of the more experienced engineers are more than happy to take the time to provide constructive feedback People are truly passionate about developing a great product here. It makes the work being done even more enjoyable knowing that Interesting and challenging work. Excellence is definitely demanded at Formlabs, and it means diving deep into many different types of technical challenges. Some people have said that upper movement is hard at Formlabs, I've found that to be quite the opposite. Without having a strict title structure, eg Engineer I, II, etc, people aren't really given promotions in the traditional sense. At least with engineers, in the 2 years I've been here, doing good work will result in the Formlabs equivalent of a promotion - more responsibility and pay to recognize it.

Cons

Technical decisions can be made quickly, without very effective dissemination of that knowledge to relevant people Management is changing the way things are structured, which is good, putting this in the cons because it needed to and the effects of change haven't really been seen yet People are great at pointing out the flaws in work being done. Not everyone does this in a way that people appreciate Pay is slightly below standard
