Joining Firework was the biggest mistake of my life.
Pros
If you excel at flattery and navigating office politics, then this is the ideal workplace for you.
Cons
• Product priorities shift like sand in the wind. For example, in 2022, they sold the dream of skyrocketing revenue through Retail Media, only to realize it wasn't their forte. Then came the hype of 1-1 shopping, followed by the digital showroom fiasco. Who knows what harebrained scheme they'll cook up next. • Congratulations, you've been hired to execute layoffs like clockwork. It's practically a bi-monthly ritual—no discussion, just the swift swing of the ax. • Management is a rudderless ship drifting aimlessly in a sea of confusion. They couldn't chart a course for tomorrow if their lives depended on it. • They promise the moon but deliver mere moon dust. It's the epitome of overpromise and underdeliver. • Client turnover resembles a revolving door, painting a vivid picture of the quality of their offerings. • You'd have a more fulfilling career selling trinkets at a flea market than enduring the dumpster fire that is this workplace. • Your achievements on key KPIs are disregarded. Despite being a top performer, I have not received any recognition or appraisal in nearly three years of tenure.
