Squandered Potential - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Simplify3D

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 is a fascinating new industry. It was a lot of fun learning a skill that not a lot of people have. The office is in a convenient location within walking distance of restaurants and coffee.

The office culture is rigid, condescending and controlled. There is no flexibility, no engagement, no transparency. Everything is top secret, only the CEO and COO are in the know on any subject, which leads to employees distrusting management. On a scale from 1-10, 10 being the highest, the level of micromanagement is a 9.9. Management is unable to delegate tasks. Management speaks of Driving Deliverables as being one of their core values, sadly they can't get anything done because they can't get along. It is typical to hear the CEO and COO openly argue in the office. The CEO and COO are a son/mother team, which they do not disclose during the interview process.
