Pros

Diversity and LGBTQ friendly until it looks good Work from home possibility 2-3 times a week depending on your position Interesting technology to work with that will entertain you for 1-2 years. You can 3D print stuff for yourself for free. Somewhat good office culture in EU locations, can't vouch for US or Asia. Good work quality standards globally. Company events with networking possibilities. Nice benefits tailored to be just below competitive.

Kontras

Terrible work culture in the last 2 years. Will respect European work ethic most of the times, because they have to, but will encourage and will provide opportunities for people who work unpaid overtime, and answer messages off the clock. Authoritarian management composed of oportunists who de-value professionalism, and will expect a constant ego reinforcement from employees. Management felt the need to constantly remind everyone "who is the boss", so the mood in our office was usually bad. Regardless of your contribution and position, you will be discarded if you don't hit it off with management. Anti-environmentalist attitude from management, ervironmental impact and toxicity is a subject the company avoids at all costs. Don't work here if you are environmentally conscious. HR will contain you if you talk about sustainability, and shift the blame to you (employee) to do something about sustainibility (BP practice). HR will report on you, and flag you if you have any complaint of management - even if all of your coworkers feel the same. HR seemed to be consistently undermining professional developement of certain departments and employees aftrer a certain point to keep their salaries just below market average. American company that partially runs on European professionals, but somehow still manages to look down on Europeans. For example, underpay highly trained Hungarian developers, arrogant manner of communication in meetings with little to no room for feedback. The company seems to be hiring fresh graduates because of it's increasing bad reputation, and bad retention. There are only a few I know who stayed longer than 3, maximum 5 years. Formlabs fires people in an ambush-like manner, basically they book a meeting and you'll have 2-3 hours to save your data, collect your things and say goodbye, occasionally known to try to avoid paying you severance saying you violated internal policies. They had a logically flawed merit based reward system at services that is not based on the quality of work, and its effects on potential revenue, but the amount of work done (This could have changed ever since).The company increases profits, but did not follow inflation in salaries, or compensation. Did not grant any bonuses (Hungary) no matter how good the company was performing according to their internal financial reports. Anti-unionist management.
