Learned a ton working on the Alpha launch vehicle. Great work atmosphere where I got to work with great people. It was like a big family instead of a job.
|
We had a critical investor pull out so eventually all of the staff was furloughed and the company had to reboot as Firefly Aerospace.

Was a good place while it lasted

Friendly coworkers, a few office perks, located in a great city, and you get to work on Rockets!! You get a lot of experience in a short time. As of December 1st, company no longer exists.
|
Incompetent upper management that could not secure funding due to personal legal issues and lack of faith in Fireflys choice of approaching technical challenges. Never enough money or time to do the engineering required. Lack of concern for employees, numerous full company furloughs and then rehires, then complete layoffs again. No stability or trust in the way the company was being run. Firefly no longer exists as an engineering company as of December 1st.

Please don't try to resurrect the company, too many lives where destroyed, companies financially burned, and dreams shattered. As of December 1, 2016 company was permenatly shut down.

Why yes, it is rocket science!
|
|
My fellow space geeks and I have found nerdvana. Creativity, ingenuity, individuality, and kindness are valued here. Everyone works hard. People are friends with each other outside of work. Executives sit with and listen to everyone from directors to interns. Upward mobility is only limited by your abilities, work ethic, and initiative. We get to build our own culture.
|
Financially dependent on investors until first launch

Intern for Hire
|
|
Amazing corporate culture, and a blast to work at. Firefly's team was a unique mix of young engineers coupled with veteran launch vehicle and satellite engineers.
|
The intern for hire policy is a way to skate by paying young engineers for very cheap. No guarantee that you'll convert to full-time at the end of your intern for hire contract.

Pay young engineers. New graduates are in the most unstable point in their lives right after college, and many have student loans looming in the near term.

Awesome place

Wonderful place to work and learn as an engineer. Greatest group of people I have worked with and probably will work with. Management is incredibly experienced and have open door policies.

None that I can think of

Excellent company with rock-star co-workers
|
|
It's a startup with the making of a great company. Everyone there is in it to see the company succeed and everyone I worked with are very competent. Great leadership, very transparent about everything and know how to build great culture.
|
The benefits system used is somewhat lacking and 401k choice is limited.
