Pros

Yearly hackathon is a company wide celebration of fun and creativity.

Cons

In a response to an earlier review, Formlabs said "As part of this shift, in 2024 we parted ways with some Formlings. This group included talented people who made strong contributions to the company, and who moved on to new roles. Our management team took responsibility for what Formlabs could’ve done differently." I challenge them on this claim. The CEO fired a significant part of the company via email. The tone was that those being let go were "less than" and pretty much deserved to be let go for their lack of talent and production. Also, there was nothing that can be fairly characterized as the CEO or management taking responsibility unless you count a few sentences akin to "I shouldn't have been so soft fire similar underperformers in the past" as having taken responsibility. If Formlabs management says otherwise, let them respond to this review with the actual text of the email mass firing email and let that email speak for itself.

Pros

Fun startup vibe, lots of food and coffee and snacks Coolest stuff they're building Unlimited free printing in any material Smart, generally fun people

Cons

Everyone is overworked, high turnover, no internal hiring, complete lack of care for employee safety ranging from months spent in high-powder concentration atmospheres to (probably explosive) alcohol fume rooms. Machine shop safety is lazy
