Pros

NextFab offers the chance to make a career out doing what you love. The company is filled with people who are passionate about what they do and you feel that as an employee. If you're proactive and want to take on responsibility, the opportunity is there for you to grow your career in the direction you choose. As a staff member you get a chance to work with artisan entrepreneurs and/or startup companies building businesses around physical products. It's a high-energy and inspiring work environment. The company is on an upward trajectory and continues to improve all the time.

Cons

At this stage, pay is probably below market for many positions. There's a lot going on - doing a good job requires strong time management skills.

Pros

Fun and energetic place to work. A lot of the staff is young and ambitious, making for a great environment. Many people willing to share their specific knowledge and help others grow. Upper management was always kind and easy to work with.

Cons

Really don't have much to say about any cons. I loved working here.

Pros

Very cool members and exposure to interesting projects and startup ventures. Free classes and access to the workshop equipment.

Cons

Upper management so far removed from the day to day operations, they have no idea what can be accomplished in a set amount of time with the number of people performing blended roles (more than one job.) Constantly shifting priorities due to a reactionary culture. There is no real business plan so all one can do is respond to shiny object syndrome thinking this new initiative is gonna change the whole outlook and finally make it a profitable company. Toxic leadership that insinuates you should be grateful for being offered a pay cut.
