Best company I've worked in so far! - User Experience Designer Firebox.com Employee Review

The relationships we made along the way.

Long hours, schedule was less than ideal

Firebox is more than a fantastic company, it's a fun, mad and loving family. I genuinely look forward to going to work every day and collaborating with my talented colleagues. I've been working here for a year now and it no longer surprises me but still fascinates me that there are people here that have worked for the company for over 10 years!!! That speaks volumes about Firebox. The company has been around for 17 (almost 18) years but it has maintained a young and fun spirit that aims to deliver a great experience both for its customers and its employees. In the last year, I've been involved in numerous successful projects that have been a great learning curve and have helped my professional development but have also been just outright fun - from launching amazing new site functionalities, running a highly successful Kickstarter campaign to launching fun new products. I love that the company has a really positive attitude towards trying new things and empowering everyone in the company to suggest new projects and improvements. Previously I've worked in a big (famous) ad agency, I've been on the client-side as well and I have worked for a start-up and none of my previous jobs have been anywhere near as good as this one.

Since I've compared Firebox to a family in the previous section, I should say that like every family we have our ups and downs and things to improve but we're all in it together and working towards improving them together.
