Pros

Management and partners of the company truly do care about their employee. The company pays very well. They also help you when it comes time to relocate so that you do not have to worry about the stresses of moving.

Cons

Can be stressful at times, especially when around roll out. Other than that I had no cons about the company.

Thank you very much for your feedback. It means a lot to us that you left FAST with a positive outlook on your experience and time with the company. With regard to stress levels, it is true that a lot needs to get done around roll outs (delivery deadlines). Remember, FAST implements enterprise software for governments. This means the software you helped install may be used by hundreds or thousands of government employees. The software you helped install supports thousands, even millions, of citizens! The software you helped install processes hundreds of millions of dollars in payments—money that is then used to fund public services. In this industry, FAST alone has a flawless track record for delivering these major systems as promised, on time and on budget. This can only be achieved with very hard work, which is usually associated with a certain level of stress, no matter what the job is. Fortunately, our stress levels tend to ebb and flow, with the toughest times being around roll out (delivery deadlines) as you said. We are always open to ideas on how to reduce stress levels while making good on our promises to our clients. For example, one of our goals on projects is to more evenly distribute the workload throughout the project life cycle to reduce working hours during roll out. We hope you shared any ideas you had while you were here with your supervisors, and would welcome any ideas you may have even now. We know how hard our employees work, and always try to provide compensation and benefits that reflect their efforts. Thanks again for your contribution while you were here, and for your help now via your feedback.

Pros

Amazing benefits with a great opportunity to broaden your horizons.

Cons

Not too good if you're trying to settle down. Your constantly on the move like a military job.

We are so happy to hear that you feel that FAST has broadened your horizons and provided you with great opportunities! In regards to the frequent travel, it is true that as an employee you will relocate. We know this is not the right fit for all but do feel it can fit for employees in all situations whether they are single or have a family. Relocation as a consultant is an opportunity to live where you work and not have to fly in on Monday and out on Friday. FAST does pride itself in having a family feel and we hope you are experiencing that while in Vermont. Thank you for the feedback on the conferences. We will pass this along. Feel free to reach out to the HR team with any other comments.

Pros

Great work environments Fantastic pay, benefits for young professionals Company certainly values their employees and works hard to keep them happy

Cons

You must be ready to travel frequently. In some cases, you will be sent to three different projects in the span of just over a year. Make sure you have no plans to stay put and become comfortable in any one place. Hours can be very, very long during peak season (rollouts).

Thank you for your constructive feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the working environment at FAST and felt valued. We take pride in these aspects of the company. In regards to the frequent travel, it is true that we relocate to our client sites. Traveling for the company does not happen as often. An employee’s expertise may bring him/her to many different places, but we try our best to weigh company need and an employees situation when moving people. If people must move, FAST's relocation team provides assistance from start to finish and we try to remove the physical stress of moving. Our goal is to have people on project sites for at least 2 years at a time, we will certainly look into anyone having to move three times in over a year.
