Pros

One thing about fastmarkets is it’s really flexible with working hours and there is a huge amount of learning courses you can partake in

Cons

When I joined during the Euromoney era, remote working and half day Fridays were part of the deal. Under Astorg ownership, both have quietly disappeared, with a three day office requirement now in place. Progression is limited. Leadership openly admits the way to get promoted is to play the corporate game rather than perform well. Workloads have increased significantly and management show little interest in addressing this. The business goes through constant restructuring with no apparent awareness of the damage this does to morale. The impact on people’s mental health is real and goes completely unacknowledged. There is no genuine support, and the pressure is relentless. This is a company that treats people as replaceable. They pay below market rate and claim to run salary benchmarks, but when you ask to see the evidence, it never materialises. By the time I left, the atmosphere had become genuinely toxic. Closing my laptop for the last time felt like a relief.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for taking the time to review your experience at Fastmarkets. We’re pleased to hear that you’ve enjoyed the flexibility, supportive management, and opportunities for travel and global exposure during your time with us. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the nature of the reporting work and career focus within price reporting. As a specialist commodities and market intelligence business, price reporting is a core part of what we do, but we recognise the importance of continuing to create broader development opportunities for journalists who are interested in expanding their experience across news, analysis, data, and other areas of the business. We’re continuously evolving how we support career growth and internal mobility, and feedback like yours is valuable in helping us shape that progression more effectively. Thank you again for your contribution to Fastmarkets and for sharing your perspective.
