Pros

-They take care of their employees (great pay, benefits, bonuses, etc) -All of the people FAST hires are really chill -Lots of events and lots of free booze and food (if that's your style) -They pay for overtime (you will be doing a lot of it)

Cons

-You will NOT grow your technical skill. You WILL stagnate. -Again, FAST does not CARE at all about your skills and abilities. All of their tools are in-house. You will not develop transferrable skills. Want proof? Look at all their replies to glassdoor reviews. They always say something like "We don't train you for other jobs". FAST goes out of their way to make your work as specific to their company as possible. -FAST hires college grads because you don't know better. Don't get lost in the dollar signs. If you care about software engineering and need this job, don't stay more than 2-3 years. -You will work, A LOT. FAST does not care about work life balance. Working 7 days a week before a rollout is not unheard of. They will squeeze all of the work out of you that they can

Pros

I had the opportunity to work with several exceptional leaders who genuinely cared about employee growth and development. A few managers led by example, were approachable, and provided meaningful coaching and mentorship. The work itself was often engaging, and I enjoyed many of the projects and teams I worked with throughout my time with FAST.

Cons

Employee experiences can vary dramatically depending on the manager and project assignment. Performance feedback was not always transparent. In some cases, verbal feedback did not align with written evaluations, making it difficult to understand expectations and areas for improvement. Concerns raised through management or HR were not always handled in a way that made employees feel heard or supported. The company expects a high degree of flexibility regarding travel and relocation, which can create significant challenges for employees with personal, family, or medical considerations. Work-life balance may be impacted during critical project deadlines, particularly around major milestones and implementation periods. Some projects relied heavily on pressure-driven management practices rather than coaching and employee development. Trust and communication can become challenges when leadership messaging is inconsistent across different levels of management. Employee well-being sometimes appeared secondary to project demands and delivery schedules. Employees may experience inconsistent treatment depending on management relationships and project assignments. At times, decisions appeared to favor certain individuals, which could create concerns about fairness, trust, and equal opportunities for employees.
