An offshore media company desperately trying to brand themselves as the hottest Silicon Valley Tech Start-Up.
Pros
Decent benefits, even for the short amount of time you'll be employed.
Cons
The CEO expects every single one of his employees to be 110% loyal to/ committed to the success of the company, but in return has zero loyalty to any employees other than his clique of five or six fellow comrades who run the company despite their clear lack of any industry experience. Seriously, take a look and you'll find all their top leadership has ZERO experience in media, let alone sales. They refuse to listen to any media advice or best practices (even if it comes from industry experts), allowing their toxic egos to ruin the chances of any long-term progress or , and instead on focusing on short-term goals and pipelines. Half of the processes and impression models were literally developed by interns, and all their engineering, operations, and product teams are entirely Turkey-based, making product development and campaign improvement nearly impossible. Their industry experience shows with the clear lack of direction, failed market launches, and consistent waves of mass lay-offs. In my less than one year of working there, I witnessed three rounds of (poorly planned) layoffs, with a handful of people even being offered their jobs back within days (and in some cases HOURS) after realizing there was no backup plan. Despite this, the company is backed by several reputable VCs, but the money is clearly running out as they laid off all but about a couple dozen of the US staff within a WEEK of COVID 19, with another handful of employees being laid off in the months since. If you are thinking about joining the company, reach out to local major media agencies and ask what they think. Firefly is has been a laughing stock to the OOH industry, and lacks any basic digital industry capabilities despite calling themselves an "innovator in AdTech".
