Pros

Formlabs is starting to get its act together when it comes to employee benefits and salaries. The last year or so has felt different then previous ones, maybe because we're starting to feel the COVID hiring bubble and need to offer more competitive salaries. This also means that some people have gotten left behind. There are many anecdotal stories of people leaving for other jobs, only to return six months later to get a 30-50% bump in what their previous salary was for the same role. 3D printers are cool and being able to use them is a perk for some people. Lunch 3x a week is great but also becoming more common these days. Dogs in the office, etc. etc.

Cons

Upper management has made it clear they do not care at all about sustainability. We've had an uncommunicated "roadmap" for ~two years and anytime it comes up in a company all hands there's a lot of vague hand waving. Salaries are still significantly low in some parts of the company. The "working day" doesn't exist at Formlabs. Some teams are scheduled for 45 hour weeks (9-6), while some are working from home but "unavailable" for half of the day. If you don't have work/life boundaries that you hold yourself to, Formlabs won't either.
