Former Employee - Software Instructor - Recensione dipendente - Software Instructor presso NextFab

Nextfab is a wonderful place to work with a friendly work environment. Management encourages employee advancement, both internally and professionally, with a yearly professional development stipend. In addition to promoting long-term employee growth, NextFab also fosters a positive, productive, and equitable workplace utilizing a hybrid of in-person and virtual work environments. Anyone who is familiar with the concept of a makerspace would agree that they are truly unique places to work and NextFab is no exception.

As an employer, NextFab's level of compensation leaves something to be desired. Even for some of the higher level management roles, cost-of-living adjustments and year-over-year raises are non existent.

Very cool members and exposure to interesting projects and startup ventures. Free classes and access to the workshop equipment.

Upper management so far removed from the day to day operations, they have no idea what can be accomplished in a set amount of time with the number of people performing blended roles (more than one job.) Constantly shifting priorities due to a reactionary culture. There is no real business plan so all one can do is respond to shiny object syndrome thinking this new initiative is gonna change the whole outlook and finally make it a profitable company. Toxic leadership that insinuates you should be grateful for being offered a pay cut.
