Fast Enterprises reviews

Everyone with the company has been nothing but sincere and friendly, even the partners. The flat management structure means you actually meet the company founders and decision makers. Not being a computer programmer, I was worried about being an outsider on site, but the implementation consultants (developers) are always happy to answer questions and advance my technical understanding of the product. As for the skills and experience I brought to the job, my knowledge and experience in adult education have always been respected by my co-workers and supervisors. I don't feel like I have to "prove" myself or reiterate my credibility every five seconds. Benefits include insurance, "when it rains it pours" assistance, professional financial planning advice, and adequate vacation/sick time to feel well and rested when on the job. Overtime is compensated and company culture encourages "letting your hair down" with workmates when the work is done. They may need you to move periodically, but they cover moving expenses, which sealed the deal for me personally. I also like that titles don't really mean much at FAST. I am a training coordinator, but also do a lot of technical writing, get to try my hand at development and configuration, will be coordinating testing, and I do the "little" things that need to be done when implementation consultants are too swamped with programming to do much else. One of the big reasons I accepted the offer was the company's perspective on community involvement. We are highly encouraged to be pro-active in the cities we work/live and do things for the community as a group. There is also a gift-matching program! I would also highlight the fact that FAST understands and utilizes superior customer service, despite the fact that the client base consists of government agencies. I was hoping this was the case, asked questions along that line at my interviews, and have not been disappointed.

Your co-workers truly make the work environment the joy that it is on each site. Unlike a traditional consultant position where your stay rarely requires a fully packed suit case, Implementation Consultants with Fast are located long term. This allows the opportunity to be actively involved with your fellow consultants outside of work, and this is witnessed with the extensive amount of activities employees do together. Often times these are "Fast" sponsored as a reward to hard work on behalf of the employees. Depending on how you look at the idea of relocation, this can be a pro or con, but the opportunity to travel both internationally (at choice) and domestically allows employees to find what areas are best suited for themselves. Different sites bring unique opportunities and experiences that are valuable on both personal and professional levels. The position itself has a lot of challenges and learning experiences that come with it. You have tremendous opportunities to learn in the areas of programming/development, conversion from legacy systems, database interaction, managing and organization as well as the process of turning desired and required specifications to completed solutions.
