Pros

Good Benefits. Some of the people you work with are very smart and good people.

Cons

Salary is not competitive; less than frugal with no bonuses. Low head count that doesn't allow for enough resources, which overworks people and puts the quality of work at risk. All work is rushed with not much care for quality. Systems are horrible. Upper Management needs improving. The culture is a 'pointing finger' or 'throw you under the bus' type of culture;

Pros

I have learned so much working in Firecrest. The people who work there are very warm, talented people who always work together to deliver a great work environment and a fantastic product that is so interesting to be involved in. I have never worked anywhere like Firecrest, I enjoy going to work, no day is the same as the last it's great to be part of such a fun but hard working company.

Cons

The work can be very challenging bus to be honest I don't find this a con as it's very rewarding.

Pros

Firecrest is a quirky and fun place to work. The people that work there are some of the most amazing ive met. And its the people that make it what it is. there is an eclectic mix of people from all walks of life but together and with the company they create a dynamic that is unlike anywhere else ive worked. the company promotes healthy living and are fitness fanatics. from trying to break some quirky Guinness world record to availing of the company's personal trainer (where you are allowed to workout during work hours) to the busy hectic workload thats put in front of you, you wont know whether to laugh or smile. but none of its a joke so you roll with it. its work hard play hard. there is a huge opportunity to learn a lot

Cons

you work really hard and sometimes it can be mayhem. timelines are ridiculous and management may put the customer first and the employee second. the ladder hasnt room for everyone.
