Pros

This company was once a great place to work with passionate, vibrant people who genuinely enjoyed their jobs and valued work-life balance and now god forbid, we actually had some fun and the company cared about employee happiness. Unfortunately, it has since become a shadow of its former self, driven by a toxic hustle culture. While layoffs happen, it’s disheartening to see loyal employees punished by being expected to take on more work without any recognition or reward. As headcounts are reduced and individual workloads increase, we're still told that we’re not doing enough. It’s a frustrating and demoralizing. That's about as pro as I can get, that it USED to be good.

Cons

Formlabs needs to stop labeling increased responsibilities as 'promotions' when they come without any corresponding pay raise. After layoffs or when employees leave due to burnout, the additional workload is quietly passed on to remaining team members—yet it's rarely acknowledged as extra work. If you speak up enough, you might receive an unofficial title change, but still no increase in compensation. And they feel more entitled to give you more work so you are really just shooting yourself in the foot by accepting a "promotion". It feels like a way to mask understaffing without properly rewarding the loyal people who stay.

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate your thoughts and perspective. As a growing business, we have made many changes over the past year with very ambitious goals- and we’re achieving them! While we are focused on efficiency and business success, we are equally focused on employee retention. We’ve rolled out improved manager training, we offer career development support and compelling benefits & perks, including fun team events! For example, my team is heading to the Red Sox game today to celebrate an incredible quarter of hiring. Additionally (and importantly), we evaluate our compensation regularly and make updates when needed. For example, we recently increased the compensation for each role in our sales career ladder (which we proudly send to applicants in the interview process). The recruiting team is working hard as we actively are growing teams across the organization and hiring great talent who are excited to work with the best in the business. As someone on the team who is responsible for reading and sharing these reviews, I can assure you we closely monitor the feedback we receive here, connect with relevant teams (recruiting, managers of the teams, etc), determine ways to improve and action the feedback.
