Pros

M3D is a pretty decent place in the grand scale of good and bad jobs to work for. If you're part of the production team the pay is adequate and on par with other similar jobs in the area. They take pride in having generally relaxed working environment and a casual dress code. The people who work there are polite and some even genuinely like each other. As of writing this they have still have semi flexible hours depending on production needs. It can be very convenient to take a day off for doctor's appointments and other things life throws your way. Management is understanding and reasonable in requests that are made in advance.

Cons

Working at this company can be very frustrating at times. There is a lack of organization, clear structure and follow through. Underneath all the polite smiles and talk of being a close knit company/team there is a real division between management, engineers, owners and the production team. This generally wouldn't be a big problem if it didn't lead to additional confusion and if it wasn't the exact opposite of what they say they want to practice. There seems to be little chance of advancement for team members regardless of what managment pep talks promise. Two years (and some months) and no one (to my knowledge) has been promoted in either title or pay even if additional responsibilities were added to their daily routine. And if there were why were they not acknowledged or celebrated?

Pros

I recently started working at M3D and have been having a blast. We are nearly ready to launch our second major product and everyone is starting to get excited. The culture pushes and values hands on prototyping over all else. The leadership really wants everyone to try things and bring ideas to the table. Flexible work hours (you can work any time of the day you want practically) Electrical prototype space Mechanical prototype space Cool people Production is co-located with engineering Free candy and fruit Great vision for future Significantly ramping up new product development Clean working space Leadership is extremely accessible

Cons

It is a small company about to launch a second product. Along with the excitement comes fear of failure. Sometimes fear drives changes and responses that cause friction. The leadership is working on this, so it will be a while before it gets resolved. High expectations for each person to perform at an extremely high level Not enough software folks 9 to 5 folks have a harder time fitting in on the engineering side
