Pros

The entry level is pay is good and the work is very easy for non-technical types. There is lots of free alcohol and business class flights to the AGM so this company suits young millennials who want to party more than professionals with any kind of reputation.

Cons

This is not a company for serious developers who want to build a career. It is more for people who don't have relevant experience or qualifications. Using VB.Net should have been a red flag for me but the tech is seriously outdated and you can't have pride in your work with such a bad product. Almost all your colleagues will be fresh grads and there is no space for meaningful professional development. People with experience are like beached whales who can only do Gentax and can't find work elsewhere with only SQL and VB experience.

Fast Enterprises Response

Fast Enterprises is proud to be a leading provider of government technology services. Our track record of modernizing government agencies so that they can better serve the general public is unblemished. Where much larger, “bleeding-edge” companies have failed, FASTies have delivered enterprise revenue, drivers & vehicle and unemployment insurance systems on time and on budget. Every time. Since its inception, every client that FAST has ever had is still a client, growing its use of FAST products. Every one. None of this could’ve been accomplished without strong technology and the contribution of every member of our team of intelligent, talented and dedicated FASTies. Their experience and qualifications are certainly relevant to FAST’s satisfied customers and the millions of citizens they serve. It’s unfortunate that you don’t find your experience meaningful. “People without relevant experience or qualifications”, “Beached Whales”, and “Fresh grads” as a “bad word”? Respect and civility are at the foundation of our culture. We suggest that the most helpful reviews offer constructive feedback without disparaging coworkers. FAST is not a fit for everyone and we hope you will move forward with the decision to find a better fit for you.

Pros

Good compensation, great coworkers, a proprietary product that the employees can be proud of.

Cons

Some parts of the company still operating as if FAST was a <200 employee start-up. Employer performance and career management confusing, unstructured and opaque.
