Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Formlabs (Boston, MA)
Colloquio
The interview is multi-staged, starting off with recruiter screening, then a hiring manager interview, a take home test and finally on site. I didn't end up getting the position, but overall it was a solid interview process.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Formlabs (Somerville, MA) nel mese di apr 2026
Colloquio
The first round was a screening call with a person from HR. The following interview was with the technical hiring manager. Third round was a timed asynchronous technical challenge. The fourth round is an on-site panel.

Domanda 1
Describe a hard project you have worked on in the past.
Pretty standard for tech (screening, take-home, technical interview). The scheduling of the take-home was rough, the date/time changed multiple times, and I was also told a few different lengths of time I would have to work on the project. The technical interview was about the take-home. My biggest takeaway is that there are a lot of smart people working hard to make a well-designed product but ultimately it is just making more plastic and everyone seemed a bit intense/poor working life balance for a kind of meh mission. Also, there is a reason Formlabs doesn't participate in pay transperancy and it is because they are not competitive on the salary front (like 40k less then other start-ups). It seems like they pretended to be an early start-up when convenient (i.e., offering poor compensation).
