Pros

The fun thing about the job is meeting plenty of nice people.

Cons

Early workdays and late nights extending to weekends. We do nothing here but work, work, and work!! We don't get decent rest days and in some months we only get one or two or none at all!! This is exhausting and it's already affecting my health!

Pros

The salary was livable, I guess. Office location was fine.

Cons

The main issue is that priorities shifted constantly — like, you'd start work on something, get halfway through, and suddenly it's not important anymore and now you need to pivot to something else that wasn't even communicated until that moment. Expectations were never clear from the start, and I'd get completely different direction week to week, which honestly gets exhausting. You'd spend time building systems based on what management swore was critical, then find out they'd decided on a totally different approach and nobody bothered looping you in. There's no way to do solid work when requirements change every five seconds and half the time you're finding out after you've already committed time and energy. I watched several other people leave for the exact same reason, so it's not just me being frustrated — it's a real pattern.

Pros

My coworkers are nice, but working here has been such a disappointment. I thought Firework would be a great fit for my career goals, but my experience has been nothing but stressful, unrewarding, and miserable. If you're thinking of working here, I highly advise against it.

Cons

Employees aren't respected. We're overworked, underpaid, and constantly forced to meet unreasonable demands every single day. Management couldn't care less about our well-being, and only cares about making as much money as possible.
