Great Company! Employee for 3+ years - Anonymous employee FireFly Equipment Employee Review

They let people innovate and take on challenges. Consistency and hard work are rewarded with more responsibility. Go getters can do a lot here.

They have a start up feel which some people thrive in and others don't. They are gritty and fast paced which is a preference for some and a negative for others.

A growing green tech firm pioneering autonomous technology in agricultural settings. Cool products designed by a really good r&d team. A good place to get job training in multiple disciplines.

Top heavy, bureaucratic, old-school, inside-the-box thinking among senior management. Underlings have authority to sweep the floor and take out the trash, but require management approval and scrutiny for just about everything else. Tools on the assembly line seem to be always broken or missing, getting replacements is a huge headache. The inventory management system is error-prone, antiquated and cumbersome but still in use because senior management thinks kanban cards are cool. Deficiencies are corrected by griping louder rather than fixing the broken system. Documentation and change management has not been a priority, making life difficult for customers and Service Techs who want replacement parts out in the field. Confidence in HR as anything more than someone whose job is to keep the company from getting sued by former employees is minimal. Benefits are terrible and show no sign of improvement any time soon. Change is very slow because bureaucratic inertia is significant. Senior leadership keeps all the authority, and tend to focus on the biggest fires first, leaving the smaller ones on the back burner where they are forgotten until they get big enough to merit their attention. They work you and expect you to sacrifice like you’re an investor at a fledgling start up (and pay you like it), with the implication they’ll make it up to you on the back end, but there’s no guarantee and little confidence that will actually happen. A great place to get trained before going elsewhere to get paid what you’re worth.
