Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Building the next generation of engineering design software starts first and foremost by bringing in and retaining top talent, and this is a key focus area for us at nTopology. We recently expanded the executive team, bringing in nTopology’s first Chief Marketing and Chief People Officers. Both leaders are seasoned experts in their respective fields and are excited to partner with the leadership team to develop strong company and team cultures as nTop continues to grow and scale.

Pros

Nice memories of what was once an amazing place to work. The early days were full of smart, passionate people, genuine collaboration, and a real sense of purpose.

Cons

After 10 years and six rounds of investment, it’s disheartening to see this company still operate under the illusion that it’s a startup. Despite the time, funding, and opportunities, leadership has failed to evolve. Decisions are made reactively, not strategically, and there's a persistent unwillingness to acknowledge the maturity—or responsibilities—that should come with a decade in business. It’s increasingly clear that the company is rushing toward an exit, likely driven by investor pressure to show some kind of return. As a result, there’s constant turbulence: shifting priorities, chaotic restructures, and erratic changes in strategy. Long-term vision has taken a back seat to short-term damage control. The result? Constant layoffs, financial instability, and a deeply demoralized workforce. Many of the most talented and driven people have already left—or worse, were let go—leaving behind a team largely unprepared to move the company forward. The culture of innovation and collaboration that once made this a promising place to work has been replaced by confusion, poor communication, and short-sighted decisions. The people used to be the best part—smart, passionate, and collaborative—but that spirit has all but vanished. What remains is a skeleton crew, limited in both resources and morale, trying to navigate a company that seems unsure of what it even wants to be anymore. Frankly, I hesitate to even say whether anyone should apply here—I’m not convinced the company has the financial runway to hire at all. Unless you're comfortable stepping into an environment with zero stability and unclear direction, I’d strongly recommend avoiding this one. There are far better places to grow, contribute, and be valued.
