Formlabs Reviews

There are very many advantages to working at Formlabs GmbH in Berlin, Germany. Formlabs is a unique company, so it is difficult to summarise, but I think the following are the most important to note: 1. Working as part of any team (be it Sales, Customer Care, Marketing, Engineering, etc.) is interesting, challenging and rewarding. Formlabs itself is a young company, however it has quickly established itself as the leader in desktop 3D printing in Europe and the U.S. Because of this, work is fast-paced and exciting. 2. Training is clear, concise and down-to-earth: Those like myself, who are not strong in Mathematics or Sciences, need not worry - certain colleagues deliver training sessions, which are arranged according to your schedule and how comfortable/capable you feel regarding the topic. They are very understanding too, and are quick to lend a helping hand outside of training times to make sure you feel confident with what your role requires. 3. Horizontal management means your voice gets heard, and you have a say in how challenges should be faced. Supervisors and management also take your concerns and feedback seriously, and genuinely do their best to accommodate everybody. 4. Correct work/life balance: Although the volume of work in all departments may at times be relatively higher than at others, supervisors and management recognise that rest is just as important as work, and will regularly regularly remind you to take breaks. You also have the option of working from home at any stage, should you feel sick or need to be at home for whatever reason. 5. Great atmosphere and culture: Despite its quick growth, Formlabs has managed to maintain its unique atmosphere of an open, honest and diligent office. Colleagues are from all over Europe and the wider world, as well as from many, many different backgrounds. Formlabs nourishes this diversity, and colleagues take an active interest in one another. There are regular parties, team events, outings and trips abroad - and everybody is welcome. 6. Real opportunity to further your career: Due to Formlabs' young, open culture and its horizontal management, role changing is entirely possible. This does not always mean taking on more responsibility however, but can also mean changing your position and department altogether, depending on what it is you want to do. For example, I have seen colleagues move from Customer Care roles to Engineering/Research roles, others move from Sales to HR and vice versa, etc. 7. Formlabs provides you with your own equipment: new laptop, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and anything else you need. You also have your own desk and a lot of space. Kitchens are stocked weekly with fruit, nuts, tea, coffee and other snacks, and lunch is served for free in office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. 8. The Berlin office is not only clean and comfortable to work in, but also well located at just 3 tram stops from Alexanderplatz, and 2 from S-Bahn Greifswalder Str.
