Pros

AMAZING talent and incredible colleagues! Everyone really cares about doing well, and pleasing DesignPoint's customers.

Cons

Biggest and only concern is the lack of applicable leadership. Management truly cares about DesignPoint's people, which almost makes it worse, but a lack of understanding and knowledge of the customer based & what it actually takes for their employees to do their jobs leads to ill-informed decisions on what initiatives to focus on.

Pros

DesignPoint is a nice small company with a relatively stable income. Relaxed place to grow as a young engineer to an intermediate level. Daily exposure to a broad spectrum of local industries and businesses. A good cast of employees top to bottom. Progressive use of efficient business technology and employee freedom. Broad development options available to engineers (in the SolidWorks product family). Easy to make a positive impact and develop new ideas. Very competitive salaries and raises. A great place to network

Cons

"Small company" means little room for advancement. Much more stressful environment (high risk/high $ reward) in sales side of the business vs engineering/technical which is a normal one. Certain positions can involve heavy local travel, but most don't. Company financial goals/targets are always a pipe dream and start to negatively wear you down as an employee. They never meet their goals, yet continue to grow at a high pace. Little "hands on" engineering experience to be gained outside of 3D printing.
