The Juice is Worth the Squeeze

Pros

This is a great company, with amazing teams full of dedicated people who are working side-by-side to accomplish a very important common goal. Are there growing pains sometimes? Yes! Are we moving super fast all the time? Yes! Is everything perfect? HELL no! The pace isn't for everyone, true, and not everyone enjoys working for a start up, but that's ok. What we all experience here at times is fairly standard in a startup environment; what matters most are the non-standard startup things, like the legitimate mission, the company values (both stated and experienced), and the opportunity to actually for-real make the world a better place. All due respect to other startups and their missions, but the potential positive effect of Form's technology on climate change, and, by association, the world is pretty hard to beat.

Cons

In order to thrive here you have to be extremely flexible, collaborative, and ready to pivot at the drop of a hat. As I said above, the pace here is fast, and that is not something everyone enjoys. You must also be patient, kind, and as ego-free as possible. Embrace change. Problem solve with dignity, alacrity, and respect. And champion ambiguity in all forms. The company is still very young, relatively speaking, and as such we are figuring a lot of things out as we go -- this is also not for everyone, and that is also ok. The juice is worth the squeeze.

Best Job I've Had

Pros

Form is such an exciting place to work. We're surrounded by people who are smart, full of humanity, and excited to work hard to contribute something so important to the world. This is a job where people can feel proud of the company that they work for. How often do you get to work at a place with: really cool technical challenges, novel technology in a brand new market, a wonderful company culture, and in an industry that you're passionate about? Leadership is highly experienced and they do a good job of listening to feedback from all levels of the company. They are ready and able to make thoughtful decisions around whatever difficult issues might arise. Comp and benefits are not industry leading, but they are fair. For me, it's an easy choice between enjoying a great job that pays well vs. tolerating a bad job that pays the best.

Cons

We're in a very challenging growth phase as we work on scaling up our manufacturing. This means that things often feel chaotic (organized chaos!) and everyone is working hard, often long hours. While we certainly won't be in this stage forever, it is going to take resilience from the team to get through it.

Pros

Innovative, meaningful, and purposeful work. The pay is great as well compared to similar industries.

Cons

It's a start-up. That means that employees need more flexibility than in corporate!
