Pros

- You’ll find some really solid people to work with here - An interesting product with potential - Salaries are competitive, depending on the hub you’re based in - Offices are pretty nice across all locations

Cons

A lot of managers lead through fear. Let me translate one of the phrases you’ll hear all the time: “We need to keep the momentum, this feedback should help with that” Translation: vague, unnecessary pressure with no concrete points or actionable goals. It’s just a way to push people harder, make you feel like you’re underperforming, and normalize a toxic “give 100% all the time” culture. Many managers simply aren’t capable or prepared to manage. Expect micromanagers with little to no real leadership experience — people who were promoted just because they’ve been around long enough. Also, get ready for people who won’t listen and rely on hierarchy to shut down discussion rather than find the right solution. There are also tech decisions that make absolutely no sense. In the long run, employees are the ones who end up paying for those choices. If you’re based in Malta, make sure you really understand the lifestyle and work culture there. It can be a big shock if you’re coming from a more modern European company culture — in many ways, it feels stuck in the 80s.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Fast Track and for highlighting both the positives and the areas you found challenging. We’re sorry to hear that aspects of our management approach and culture felt pressured or unsupportive from your perspective. That is not the experience we aim to create, and feedback like this helps us reflect on where expectations, communication, or leadership practices may not be landing as intended. We recognise that leadership styles and ways of working can vary across teams and locations, and we’re actively investing in leadership development and more consistent management practices across the business. We also recognise the importance of being clear and transparent about our working environment during recruitment and onboarding, so people can make informed decisions and expectations are set well from the outset. Fast Track is a fast-growing and ambitious organisation and isn’t one-size-fits-all. For those who enjoy building, challenging the status quo, and helping shape how things work, it can be a rewarding place to grow. Thank you again for sharing your perspective, and we wish you continued success in what comes next. If you would like to provide any further context or feedback, you’re very welcome to reach out to us directly, we genuinely value the opportunity to listen and learn.

Pros

I am proud of coming here and leaving my feedback about Fast Track. I want the world to see we are not only the best CRM platform out there, but a place that embraces its employee community! I am from Brazil, and I moved to Malta in 2025 to work with Fast Track. It isn´t easy to live away from my family and friends, but the support I have at Fast Track made my journey just perfect. I have seen a huge growth in my career, and daily, I see myself evolving with the company. The close contact with my Manager, Andrew, and the CEO, Simon, makes me feel I am walking together with the company, one supporting the other. I am excited for the future of Fast Track, and I am sure this is not just a job opportunity but a life-changing experience that will add huge value to my path. The product is stable and complete, the Greco, Rewards, and AI are top-notch tech features, and I am happy to be part of this moment of Fast Track.

Cons

As I said before, the distance from my family in Brazil is a huge factor, but I am 100% sure I can count on Fast Track to support me and add value to my purpose of being here!

Pros

Friendly and growth mindset environment with a lot of opportunities to grow and learn.

Cons

There is no hybrid work policy, and leadership ends up being a blocker since they want to be involved in every decision and ensure we are moving in the right direction. However, this is not scalable given the accelerated growth.
