Stratasys Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Stratasys

Pros – work/life balance is great
Good management
Great team to work with

Cons – So far not having anything negative about my job....

Former Employee – worked at Stratasys full-time

Pros – The chance to work with interesting technology and talented team members. You have an opportunity to contribute. Co-workers are open to answering your questions - great environment for learning the technology. Opportunity to use the equipment in house.

Cons – A culture of secrecy (not confidentiality) within the company is driven from the top down. As a result teams are unable to share ideas with coworkers that aren't on the team, even if they are subject matter experts. This slows down development. The company changes direction multiple times a year every year and poorly communicates their goals. This is not a flexible environment. Poor work/life balance. They layed off employees in 2009 with the promise of cutting projects since there would be less resources. Instead they kept all of the projects and added more.

Advice to Senior Management – Trust that your employees aren't going to share confidential information with your competition. This model works for other companies.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Stratasys

Pros – The company rewards it's employees for meeting their individual goals and in addition offers medical benefits and a 401k plan.

Cons – Stratasys does not look for ways to include employees when changing company direction. Instead, they simply throw people that have worked for the company (some 10 years or more) but do not fit into their new business model under the bus!

Advice to Senior Management – I find this type of management very unsettling. It would certainly give me pause before I took a job with the company. Even when you surpass your goals you are still subject to loosing your job if management decides to try something new.

Former Employee – worked at Stratasys

Pros – The work was very interesting and challenging. Creative work environment. It was a great experience. I learned a lot and I contributed a lot.

Cons – As Stratasys has grown, some of the flexibility and relaxed environment that made it such an outstanding place to work have gone away. No longer a family environment. I guess that is normal and should be expected in a larger company.

Advice to Senior Management – They certainly don't need nor have they asked for my advice.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
