Employee for three years. Great place to work with fantastic people. - 3D Printing Engineer Simplify3D Employee Review

A relatively small company but you have the awareness that you're working on a product that makes a large impact across the industry and world. Probably the best part of working here is the fact that you are working alongside a very talented and qualified staff. Throughout the interview process I could tell that they were very selective and the reasoning behind this shows. A relaxed environment, flexible work schedule, vibrant office design, free quality snacks (!), and you are treated and trusted as a professional. Monthly company outings are a great component to working here, it may be cliche, but they really do contribute to building a better team. Personally, I relocated from out of state to work here and I have no regrets. I enjoy living in this area, and I'm very glad I made the decision.

I can't think of any cons at the moment. The worst thing that has happened thus far is that they ran out of my favorite snack mix for a week :)

- 3D Printing - Small team so lots of potential

- 2 Headed management team; one hands off, while the other extremely micromanages - Software company that completely goes against industry standard development lifecycle - CEO is the sole viewer of product source code; employees are given tasks which are written completely from scratch and are standalone. Owner than extrapolates whatever information needed from project - Zero source control imposed or used by employees as projects have little to no collaboration. Unsure whether actual company product software uses source control - Zero bug/issue tracker used by employees, unsure whether actual company product software uses issue/bug trackers. Issues/bugs brought to attention of employees by customers/outside sources are given to CEO and whether or not they'll be fixed are up to his/her discretion - Since actual company software product is developed by a single individual, new changes/updates/features are a 'surprise' and only known about when a new release has been coded and ready for testing. This also seems to cause a lot of strain on the single developer. It is not uncommon to hear the developer said he/she went 14-18 hours straight writing/rewriting/fixing/tracking something down. Could easily be prevented if the development team was given more involvement. - Company information pretty much completely private and not shared with employees. Startup with less of a startup feel. No customer metrics, SEO, revenue, insight, etc are known by anyone but management.
