Technology Team hardware standards need a big improvement

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Supportive and approachable management with a flexible, understanding leadership style. Compensation is above market, and the overall benefits package is strong and competitive.

Cons

Within the Technology teams, the standard Lenovo T14 (Gen 4, 16 GB RAM) feels insufficient for modern workloads, particularly regarding handling multiple applications or many browser tabs simultaneously. Its display size, resolution, and battery life are all 2010 standards. Currently, non-developer roles within the Technology Team face significant friction when requesting a laptop upgrade, often needing to justify it by naming a specific tool that cannot function on the T14. This misses the broader point. It is not only about tool compatibility, but about enabling people to work on modern, reliable machines that reflect trust and care, rather than cost-cutting which makes employees feel undervalued. Even within a relatively small Technology Team, there is a visible gap in hardware quality between roles. A more future-proof approach—such as MacBook Air 15” for technical/support based roles and MacBook Pro models for developers, and equivalent high-end Windows options (e.g., Dell XPS 15 / XPS 17, HP Zbook, ASUS ZenBook ProDuo) for those who cannot use macOS—would improve consistency, morale, and long-term value.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re really pleased to hear your positive comments about our leadership, culture, compensation, and benefits — those are areas we continue to invest in and take pride in. We also appreciate your candid perspective on technology hardware standards. Ensuring our teams have the right tools to work effectively is important to us, and we recognise that expectations around performance, reliability, and usability continue to evolve as workloads become more demanding. Our current approach is designed to balance consistency, security, and cost across a global organisation, but we acknowledge that this can sometimes feel restrictive, particularly for roles with heavier multitasking or specialist requirements. Feedback like yours is valuable in helping us review how well our hardware standards are meeting the needs of different roles within Technology and beyond. We are actively listening to employee input and regularly reviewing our equipment strategy to ensure it remains fit for purpose, supports productivity, and reflects the value we place on our people. We encourage colleagues to continue raising feedback through internal channels so it can inform these ongoing discussions. Thank you again for your review and for recognising the strengths of the Fastmarkets culture.

We’re delighted to hear your positive feedback on our culture, collaboration, and the quality of our people, as well as our strong position in the market. We also appreciate your honest comments regarding the impact of recent restructuring. As the business has evolved, we recognise that periods of change can affect momentum and place additional pressure on lean teams, particularly when priorities shift.

We continue to focus on supporting our technical teams by improving clarity, prioritisation, and ways of working, while maintaining the collaborative culture you’ve highlighted.

Pros

Flexible work arrangements, acceptable non-monetary benefits.

Cons

Poor monetary compensation for product teams. No transparancy over salary benchmarking towards the market, but overly metrics driven on how the performance are measured.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you value the flexible working arrangements and non-monetary benefits we provide. Regarding your compensation comment, we review across all roles annually to ensure alignment with market benchmarks, and we remain transparent about our approach with both internal and external stakeholders. As an investor-backed business, we closely monitor performance metrics; however, this is balanced with a strong focus on our people, long-term sustainability, and the development of products that deliver meaningful value to our customers. We acknowledge that during periods of change, this balance may not always be clearly perceived, and feedback such as yours helps us identify opportunities for improvement. We support this dialogue through initiatives such as pulse surveys. We encourage colleagues to raise any concerns with their HR Business Partner and/or line manager so they can be discussed openly and constructively. Thank you again for sharing your perspective—it plays an important role in helping Fastmarkets continue to improve.
