Fast Enterprises reviews

Most will say the relocation but you're told this millions of times throughout the interview process so don't complain about that. Same with overtime. The work is extremely frustrating in the beginning (and possibly later on too... I'm still new) and can be dull at times. There is an extreme learning curve while trying to figure out how everything works. Don't expect to be doing any programming or writing much code. It's almost all configuring their already existing core product (ie: changing some rows in a few tables). Also most of the time you're not even writing SQL to do these changes, it's all done in GenTax itself. I won't lie, the work is still challenging and I definitely LOOK at a lot of code and have to figure out what it's doing, which is a a valuable skill to have, and I do use SQL quite a bit to get some specific data so that's a plus too. For the most part, I don't think you even need to know how to program to work here. They don't ask you any programming questions in your interview. You can just study the questions on Glassdoor and nail the interview. Makes me feel like the education I got in computer science was just put to waste. I'm terrified of the future and how the skills I'm learning here won't transfer to another job. I think it'd be awesome to get really good at using the system over time, IF I wanted to work here for the rest of my life. If you want to do that, go for it. It'd definitely be a fun experience if you're in it for the long haul. However, if you're just thinking about using this as a resume builder, maybe you took this job right out of college because you were a poor college student desperate for a real job like me, then my advice would be to steer clear of Fast. Find something where your skills will be more valuable for your future.

Company is extremely political and you will have to be one of the "boys" to get ahead and get noticed. It will be your responsibility to make sure your hard work and efforts are recognized by the right people. Simply doing your work will not suffice. To be fair, this is common culture in Corporate America today. Also, this is a drinking culture and excessive drinking is endorsed. If you are over the college partying then this will be a challenge as you will be expected to bond with co-workers this way.
