Pros

I don't need to repeat what others have but great pay, benefits, paid overtime, PTO and a month off every four years. It's not for everyone but it's about the journey. I have truly enjoyed my time with FAST and plan on staying unless things go sideways. Hopefully my advice can help prevent that.

Cons

Relocation is a big pro in my personal book but it's not for everyone. The level of fairness around relocation is not as arbitrary as some have suggested. What it comes down to is needs and opportunity, which to the person being asked to move can seem very arbitrary. Also the fairness factor is non-existent due to it being based on the needs of the moment as mentioned above. They pay you well to learn their methodology, system and software. They are not paying you to train you for another job. This is emphasized in that Tech Team members have the most transferrable skills and are seen as more expendable due to this fact. I have been on a large number of projects over the years and each one is like a different job. The software and methodology are the same but your boss, coworker, clients and location change. This can be both a pro and a con depending. It's a pro if you don't like your current site, you can move. It's a con if you love your current site and have to move.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on what FAST is doing well and for the thoughtful suggestions. Several of your points are regarding relocation so we will start with some thoughts on relo. Relocation topics such as how to reward folks for moving and ways to allow for flexibility for folks who want to move to or stay in a specific location are a frequent topic in management conversations. The ability to offer all of these things has changed over time due to employee feedback and to our project and employee growth. Project and employee growth have allowed for more flexibility and options on locations. We always use location preferences, skill set and project need when moves happen. It is true that sometimes, employees may have fewer options because their specific skill set and experience is needed in a certain location. We expect these conversations and these processes to continue to evolve. Regarding FAST retention, something we learned is that the reasons people leave FAST has remained the same and were not actually related to work from home. We were also surprised that work from home was not the main reason employees left. As far as the most common length of service of employees who leave, it also remained the same and it had always been: folks with 1-3 years. Retention is also a common topic for conversation and we are always interested in how we can retain top talent. If you are open to having a conversation with your PM or HR, please reach out to talk more specifics. Thank you again, we appreciate you taking the time to write a thoughtful review.
