The worst period in Protolabs Network

Software engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Great work life balance in general

Cons

New US directors are complitely destroying what was Hubs(Protolabs Network now) and not just that... The big move is to move work resources to other low salaries countries like India. A lot of people are leaving with no replacement. They're just waiting to set up the new office in India and hire the new "resources" at cheaper price there.

Nice Place To Work

Software engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

I think this is a great place to work. Good people to work with. I am lucky to have a great leader and have had for a few years. Flexible work environment. We work together well. I think salary is good, but if you combine it with the flexible work environment, the leadership, and the other benefits, this place is hard to beat.

Cons

We have old systems that don't talk to each other. It's known and it will take time to fix/improve. Not terrible, and can be worked around.

Six Years of Dedication, Ended by Unethical Leadership

Software engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Management favors certain employees, discouraging honest feedback and making it difficult to speak up. Long-term employees may feel undervalued, as leadership often prioritizes pleasing managers over fairness.

Cons

The work environment can be toxic when transparency and employee concerns are ignored by management.
