Fastned's great place to work if you’re into doing meaningful stuff with people who actually care. The mission around sustainability really comes through, and the team genuinely believes in it. It’s fast-paced, so you’re trusted to take ownership and run with things, which means loads of room to grow. The vibe is super international and friendly, with a really open, collaborative feel. People are easy to talk to, and there’s not much hierarchy, so you can just get on with things and make an impact. I've definitely felt like there are real chances to develop and push myself here. Oh I can't forget to mention the company events like the annual ski trip, Fastned Days and Christmas party... insane!
Cons
Like any company that's growing fast, things can feel a bit intense at times. The pace isn’t for everyone and some people do struggle with the step up, especially if they’re used to more structure or a slower environment. But honestly, that’s also part of what makes it exciting.
Everyone’s opinion matters, individual success is celebrated by all and the business is run by incredibly intelligent, resilient, forward thinking strategists who put their money where their mouth is, and are generous at putting back in to hosting celebrations, team events and staff benefits. Strong inclusive health driven culture is not just a tick box exercise, and everyone is humble and gets involved. There is genuine interest and care. Completely transparent, regular honest communication where nothing is glossed over, debate is welcomed alongside reflection to improve. Action actually happens (quickly) following feedback from customers and staff unlike anywhere I have ever worked.
Cons
It’s a fast growing company so it is busy, therefore not a place to work if you want to hit cruise control and put your feet up. It is also not hierarchical, so not a place for people who need to be revered. It is ever-changing as it grows, so also not for those who don’t thrive on growth, adaptation, progress and change.
