Good learning opportunity. Bad balance. - Test Engineer Firefly Aerospace Employee Review

Pros

For a new grad you learn a lot and you get to work on cool projects/contracts that you virtually wouldn't anywhere else. What you learn and gain can take you many places.

Cons

Terrible work life balance. The unspoken expectation is you put in the hours to get what's needed done so that you're 'not a blocker' to schedule. This can mean staying until 6-8pm running tests (although not always). Schedule is always changing more than not, so hours can also be very inconsistent. No direction or clear paths to long term career development either. High cadence of testing and production means always running the same procedures over and over again. You learn a lot, but after that, there's more to be desired.

Pros

You will be paid for showing up. You will also be paid the same regardless of whether you are the top performer or the lowest performer.

Cons

They are going to do what they want, so being cautious is probably the best approach. Avoid coming in too aggressively or standing out too much, because being overly strong at your job can end up making you a target within the department. If you strongly value ethics and fairness, this may not be the right environment for you.
