Farsight Consulting Response
6yThank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Listening to our team and the people that work with us is important to us and something we take very seriously, so thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
We’re really pleased to hear we have managed to further your career and help you develop your skills. Developing and supporting our team is something we are very passionate about so it’s great to hear your positive feedback and recognition of that.
It’s also great to hear that you met some amazing people at Farsight – we’d agree with you! We think our team are fantastic – we have a great bunch of bright and intelligent people who work very well together.
We’re sorry to hear that you felt like management didn’t listen to feedback. We value and listen to all of our team, including our fantastic women. Within the company there are multiple routes that individual team members can use to provide feedback (both positive and negative) informally and formally, and we act quickly on things that are raised. Our door is always open so we’d be very happy for your or anyone to get in touch to discuss things directly, or to arrange a time to pop in and see us.
Finally, you’ve mentioned the positive Glassdoor reviews we received in February. We do encourage the team to write about Farsight on Glassdoor (just as is recommended by Glassdoor themselves). Farsight is their company too. But it is the individual’s choice, and it’s up to individuals what they say. Obviously, if people have concerns or questions we would rather that they were raised internally first, so that we have an opportunity to discuss things and, if necessary, to put things right. It’s an important principle that Glassdoor is a place for jobseekers to receive honest opinions (and, if necessary, that companies have a right to respond). As part of our recruitment process, we have a similar approach and suggest that applicants spend some time chatting with the team without management to find out what things are really like.
Thank you once again for your sharing your thoughts. We wish you all the best in the future.
