Toxic culture and expectations. No direction - werkgeversreview Senior Product Designer bij Fastic

Thank you very much for your time to write your review and to provide us with your perspective on your experience at Fastic. I’m sorry you felt that your experience at Fastic was not positive. Unfortunately, while the company grew exceptionally fast last year, we experienced some challenges and not everything went optimally. We have already implemented key improvements to tackle the potentials we identified. We are doing everything we can to make Fastic a first-class experience for both our users and employees. It is very important to me personally that every employee at Fastic can rely on the leadership and the management team. Commitment is one of our cultural principles and is an important pillar of functional teams, along with trust and the ability to deal with conflict, and the acceptance of responsibility. To ensure that our cultural principles are consistently adhered to, we put them at the forefront of all our feedback processes and have implemented regular structured & short feedback cycles. Our leadership and management are all enrolled on a leadership program and receive regular training and ongoing support from an external leadership and management training provider. I’d like to add that we are very excited about our new 10 year long-term strategy that is now in place. We have developed it based entirely on market research, customer feedback, and data. It specifically addresses the challenges our users have in developing a new, healthy lifestyle. As we implement our long-term strategy, we're making incremental adjustments based on new insights so at the same time we have a solid and reliable guideline that is aligned with Fastic's target audience. We strongly believe this approach will positively impact people’s wellbeing around the world. To improve clarity, understanding and motivation, we have implemented several measures to provide a clear view to our employees of what is coming up in Fastic in both the short and long term. It is very important to me that everyone in our team clearly understands what we are doing, why we are doing it and how. In regards to work-load, work-life-balance is important to us. We have introduced a number of new initiatives such as core meeting hours and no meetings Wednesday as well as added additional employee benefits to support with this such additional paid days off, co-working space budgets and access to therapy. We have just this week announced to the team the roll out of our mental health program where employees can access services and can also seek help with private issues, concerns about burnout and much more. On behalf of the Fastic team, I would like to thank you for your contribution to the Fastic vision. We wish you every success and only the best for your future career. Florian, CEO
