Pros

The Amsterdam team is unqiue, small in size, innovative and creative makers who are keen to have fun, explore and to geek out to new sparkly tech whether that's in engineering, product or 3d printing. Various communities come together to balance work and life. It's a team of expats with many different nationalities. The past few years, the business has been transisioning change and over the last few months a new busines strategy was launched with a re org, this of course creates uncertainty at times, but the team are often updated and kept informed by immediate and upper management. The shifts on business goals and priorities are for the better, to strengthen the teams and business proposition - the changes also bring a lot of growth and opportunity to current and new employees wanting to be a part of this change

Cons

Sometimes slower in pace than what we'd like or want we're used to A little behind internally on tooling, automation and consistent communication methods, but the management are aware, and will be making changes here Things can still be a little clearer, and faster

Pros

Used to be great company with great culture and flexibility

Cons

New CEO Surresh has come in and completely destroyed the company culture that made Protolabs a great place to work at and was often awarded as such. Every meeting is coated in anxiety and the impending doom of layoffs despite record profits. In January a RTO was announced and there has been no flexibility and a straight up refusal to provide ADA accommodations to disabled employees by the HR department. They have taken away the flexibility that they used to provide to working parents that allowed them to work in office after/before their kids go to school despite not paying a living wage that would allow them to afford additional childcare. They have also chosen to make it even more difficult for employees to even receive a meets standards on their reviews as a cruel attempt to ensure they don’t have to give reasonable raises (which are rarely above 3% as is and they don’t provide market adjustments.) It’s unrecognizable from the company it used to be. They underpay, overwork, and expect the world of their employees while refusing to treat them with respect.
