Pros

remote work is the best thing about this company

Cons

Dated solution that customers are quickly running away from. This past year has been a nightmare for all sales reps due to astronomical price increases. Management is clueless when it comes to saving clients. They are hiring due to a mass exodus. I would run away if any offer was given for a SAM (strategic account manager) role.

Thank you for the feedback and I am sorry to hear that you feel the way you do. We pride ourselves on our very low customer churn rates and a generally very satisfied customer base therefore it’s disappointing you feel otherwise. We too are currently hiring for several sales roles and are committed to finding and retaining top talent. As a current employee we would love the opportunity to discuss the specifics of what you are referring to with you so would implore you to reach out to HR or our CRO directly to discuss. Thank you once again for your feedback and we will ensure we monitor these areas to address any issues that may exist.

Pros

I loved working at Fastmarkets before it was Fastmarkets. The vision is good - they truly want to deliver useful and objective information to market participants.

Cons

Naturally, the acquisition process introduced a new structure, new and complex distribution of work, and inability to move fast and pivot. The growth meant you were working with people across timezones on a daily basis and you have to compromise a lot to ensure work gets done. It is just that the steps to make the vision come to fruition were painful, especially during COVID. The size and eco-system just aren't my cup of tea.
