A good company that ran into the ground - Software Engineer Fast Search Employee Review

Great benefits, awesome team and good PTO

Salary not the same as other companies

FAST was forward looking technology wise and was willing to spin off new groups to venture in new directions. The group I ended up working with was one of the best I've work. Although there was more travel than I would have liked, management tried its best to make up for the extra travel. There was a real sense that we all were moving in the same direction on this product.

Other than the unexpected travelling (and the financial ruin at the end), the sheer number of verticals being addressed gave one a sense that the left hand and right hand didn't always know what each other were doing.
