Mission: We advance the innovations of tomorrow by empowering the innovators of today.
I have been working at Makerbot full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Innovative, company with an amazing company culture.
Whoever wants to be challenged can be challenged, whoever wants to grow can grow. You’re definitely able to work your way up. New ideas, critical thinking is welcomed since Hierarchies are low and everyone is open for new thoughts. There’s an incredibly strong team feeling through company-wide updates on what’s going on, company events, company-wide projects, and friendly co-workers and amazing snacks. People are proactive and motivated at work which is super important to maintain the strong team feeling which goes beyond one team, the great work culture and having an innovative, agile and fast mindset.
Other Pros: view form the office over the city, with amazing sunsets!
Cons
Pay can be better but MakerBot takes care of you if your performance if good!
Application
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Makerbot (Brooklyn, NY).
Interview
No transparency in the interview process. The job descriptions are not well defined. No response even after following up a number a times after the interview. After a number of emails and phone calls, they responded back as if they are interested and moving to the next step in the process. Again no information whatsoever after that..had to follow up a number of times over phone and email.
Answering all the questions in the interview was not enough and not even sure what they are expecting/looking for.
Interview Questions
