okish - Head of Recruitment Folsom Labs Employee Review

Very positive team culture. Everyone is willing to help and it's not political. I enjoy working with the founders and I find them to be really understanding and interested in peoples' wellbeing. They are generous and accommodating. Interesting product area. Really smart people working on a really interesting section of the solar industry. Which leads to a meaningful impact for the solar industry and for our customers. At trade shows and in customer interactions we hear a lot of great feedback from customers that we've helped.

We're a small team and that means we have to say no to a lot of good ideas.

Folsom Labs approaches their business with the alacrity of a small team while managing to avoid the indecisive and often funding oriented operations of most start-ups. The goal is not to burn fast for an exit, the goal is to make a legitimate impact in the area of solar design while remaining a profitable business. Culture is great, with the small team making working there feel like going to be with a hardworking family, something I really appreciate after being at huge companies previously.

A smaller size company does mean that you have to get along with everyone you work with, and you have to put a fair degree of effort into making sure that what you're doing is helpful considering the fast pace of the company. However, these are solved easily by being able to talk to your coworkers and being driven to help create a constantly evolving product.
