Thank you for taking the time to rate us. We are sorry to hear that the cooperation with management did not turn out as desired and that you had a negative experience during your time with us. We take all feedback seriously and strive to continually improve our workplace environment. We can assure you that SLM regards its employees as its greatest asset, and we are constantly working to improve ourselves as an employer but that sometimes business decisions are made that do not lead to satisfaction for all employees. For example, our employee surveys help us to identify and implement potential areas for improvement at an early stage. Your input is very valuable to us, and we would like to understand how we can improve our management practices for current and future employees. If you have specific suggestions for improving management or would like to speak personally about your experience with us, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Pros

Amazing products, company culture and team environment.

Cons

None really - working on US processes and new system so some challenges ahead. Need to continue to focus on employees and customers as priority.

Pros

- Lots of opportunity to impact the future of a company leading a cutting edge industry - SLM's US office is still growing and with that there are growth opportunities - Despite headwinds to the AM industry, SLM is continuing to grow and invest in the future with support from Nikon - Management is transparent and has a good vision for the future - Team is passionate about additive and the products they create

Cons

- US office in many ways feels like a start up, does not always have the resources or structure needed unless you build it up yourself - SLM is headquartered in Germany and communication across time zones can be difficult - While the US office grows its presence, the cultural and technical leadership is centered in Germany. This dependency is changing but can create challenges - Though the team is growing, there is more work to be done than people available to complete all of it. At times, this can lead to taking on greater technical risk or making trade-offs in the solutions being developed
