- Lots of opportunity to impact the future of a company leading a cutting edge industry
- SLM's US office is still growing and with that there are growth opportunities
- Despite headwinds to the AM industry, SLM is continuing to grow and invest in the future with support from Nikon
- Management is transparent and has a good vision for the future
- Team is passionate about additive and the products they create
Svantaggi
- US office in many ways feels like a start up, does not always have the resources or structure needed unless you build it up yourself
- SLM is headquartered in Germany and communication across time zones can be difficult
- While the US office grows its presence, the cultural and technical leadership is centered in Germany. This dependency is changing but can create challenges
- Though the team is growing, there is more work to be done than people available to complete all of it. At times, this can lead to taking on greater technical risk or making trade-offs in the solutions being developed
