Pros

- fair bonus - I feel like HR are willing to act on feedback about benefits - some genuinely lovely and hard working colleagues

Cons

- some upper management are rude and obstructive and lack respect if they personally don’t understand your work - I felt it was unfair to remove the half day on Friday after using it as a big selling point during recruitment

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to hear that you appreciate the bonus structure, the responsiveness of HR, and the dedication of your colleagues. Creating a supportive and rewarding work environment is a priority for us, so it’s great to know these aspects have made a positive impact. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding upper management and recent policy changes. Respectful behavior is a core value, and any concerns about rudeness or disrespect should be addressed. We encourage you to raise this with your line manager or HR so it can be properly reviewed. While half-day Fridays were removed, they were replaced with a more flexible approach to working. Employee survey results consistently show that flexibility and work-life balance are among the top positive aspects of working here, and we remain committed to maintaining that. Lastly, we’re pleased that you recognize our efforts to listen to staff feedback. We will continue to engage with our teams to ensure Fastmarkets remains a great place to work. Thank you again for your insights, and we wish you continued success in your career.

Pros

Business has a great reputation and in some areas, market leading products and events

Cons

Owned by private equity and you can tell. Unrealistic targets spun up by someone who's done a forecast and has zero appreciation of day-to-day or market challenges. In addition they trying to achieve aggressive growth with no where near enough staff or headcount, causing people to be drowning with their workloads.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand that targets can sometimes feel ambitious, but while objectives are stretching they have been set to enable the company to achieve its objectives. This is reflected in our year end review and the fact that the majority of our team members are able to achieve, and often exceed, their goals each year. We also acknowledge that workload and resourcing are key concerns, and we are continuously evaluating ways to improve efficiency and support our teams. We value open communication and given you are an existing employee, I would encourage you to share specific challenges with your managers so we can work together to find solutions.

Pros

The company is growing fast, and seeing lots of change. This has created some transformation challenges but for a new starter it is an enjoyable atmosphere that allows you to carve your own path and push new ideas. I don't feel I am at a disadvantage from being new in the organization, but rather I am getting a positive response to new ideas for products, and ways of working. Work life balance has been very good so far.

Cons

Legacy systems and processes can make things slower than desirable.
