Formaspace Reviews

Thanks for your review. I hope you are happier wherever you are today. While I can't argue about how someone feels, I can respond to the two fact-based assertions in your review regarding tools and benefits. Our sales team is offered many tools to do their jobs, including extensive sales, product, and process training, a beautiful, customizable, open workspace, nice computers with large dual screens, wireless headsets, and so on. A few people have asked for minor accommodations to meet particular needs, and every one of those requests has been approved and the necessary accommodations made - most of them on the same day. If there is a better tool set offered anywhere, I would like to know what it might be so we might improve in this regard. In terms of benefits, we offer free life and AD&D insurance, a smoking cessation benefit, a bonus for changing from high emission to low emission vehicles, company-branded clothing, regular voluntary bonuses and recognition, and probably other things I have forgotten. Additionally, we offer health insurance, an HSA with some matching, dental, vision, outside supplemental insurance, and a 401(k) with 50% matching up to 8% of total pay. The last thing I would say is that when someone is really unhappy at Formaspace, I have found that it is often not because a person is not making enough money or hitting a performance number, but because we have different perspectives on fundamental values. On those occasions, I have found it is best to agree to part ways. I encourage anyone considering a career at Formaspace to find and read our values and ask questions about them in the interview process, because we really do try our best to live them.

Thanks for your review. In terms of culture, we measure that. On the last anonymous survey, all but two team members said they would recommend working at Formaspace, and 37 took the time to write out commendations of their colleagues, which makes a CEO's heart sing. 12 described Formaspace as "a world class company" which I also thought was cool. We did have some moderate conflict between managers in the past, but we addressed the issue, and I would challenge anyone to find gaps between the management team today. In terms of whether I am systematically optimistic, I would love to embrace that criticism, but I think that a wise reader might discern that label might have a little bit more to do with the reviewer's attitude than than with mine. The last thing I would say as a business owner is that if you are so unhappy and you actually do work here, I encourage you to find something that you enjoy and find more rewarding. Life is too short to be so unhappy.
