Minpunten
This was hands-down the worst professional experience I've had in IT. Fastdev presents itself as a Swedish outsourcing/development company working with European clients, but the reality is far from professional or forward-thinking.
No clear development path or goals: There is zero structured vision for projects, teams, or individual growth. No one could articulate desired outcomes, roadmaps, or even basic priorities—everything felt ad-hoc and reactive.
No real DevOps culture: Despite claiming to implement DevOps workflows, it's just old-school sysadmin work with zero understanding of modern best practices (CI/CD, IaC, automation, monitoring, etc.). Infrastructure is chaotic, undocumented, with no plan for improvement or scaling.
Incompetent and bizarre management decisions: Leadership seems completely out of touch. They fire experienced developers while hiring HR staff and non-technical roles in large numbers—odd priorities for a company supposedly focused on IT and DevOps implementation.
Suspicious ties and workforce composition: A surprisingly high number of Russian employees/nationals, even post-2022 sanctions and while serving European clients. This raises serious questions about compliance, security risks, and why such heavy reliance on Russian talent persists in a Swedish-registered company handling EU work. It felt off and unprofessional.
Overall, the environment is disorganized, directionless, and mismanaged. If you're a serious dev/DevOps professional looking for growth, modern practices, or a stable company—avoid Fastdev at all costs. It wastes your skills and time.
I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
