fastned.nl Reviews 

If you give them negative feedback in their app then you will get an angry email back. That's how much they care about their customers. Classic Dutch company, well organised and rude / arrogant.

Funnily enough they do the same thing if you complain to their faces too - even if you do it really politely.

"the pastries are to die for! Paired with their booca espresso, it's perfection."

Put their prices up to nearly 80 pence per kWh. Blamed cost of electricity but charging stations next to this one are a fraction of the price for a similar speed. I've uninstalled the app and I'm never using this company again. Their prices puts cost per mile for my EV to that equivalent of a 6.0 Bentley continental (look it up yourself).... How do they get away with this? DISGUSTING

If you're thinking of buying Fastned obligaties, beware of the company structure and the total absence of any assets backing these obligations. All the money and assets sit in one entity, all the obligations are issued by a different legal entity that just builds out the infrastructure. Given the spamming of the public to invest in their bonds, and how many of their new bond issuance went to replace old ones that were coming due, I'm not investing as the risk is crazy relative to other options. They have no skin in the game, all the risk is on bond holders - that have zero assets backing their investment! Given the interest % they pay, Fastned could just get a secured or unsecured bank line for a little more... you should be asking yourself why they don't, and why they are pursuing the most difficult (and costly) placement option there is. If you think nothing will happen to you, you should read up on what is happening to Hunkemoller creditors...

Had a problem at wetherby services today with my car and the fast charger, rang the helpline and spoke to a lovely gentleman called Ronald he was so helpful had excellent job knowledge and sorted the problem for me in no time!

Avoid - complete scam. They place their charging stations in places where you will get fined. 20 mins charging was fine - £100 fine later for using the bay was ridiculous! Not at error but something that they had already arranged with the landlord. too!

The brochures lacks a prospect-number of the Dutch Authority Financial Markets (afm.nl).

No search results on AFM.nl website, when entering:fastned

The prospectus on their own website is also lacking a prospectus-number, although they state that their prospectus is approved by the AFM. Everybody can state this on an A4 piece of paper.

As a show of trust, they have an url of the contactpage of the AFM.

Looks like fraud to me or at least stating incorrect properties of the product.

I don't normally write bad reviews for an interview experience but this one had to go public.

Please dont waste your time with the recruitment process of this company. The evaluation is baseless and pointless.

After an initial call with the recruiter, I was given an assignment to work on. It was a chargers dashboard to implement as per the figma provided. The Backend API was provided by the team with the gitlab repo.

First: The API provided by them lacked CORS authorization, and hence while developing had to email the recruiter to ask the BE team to make changes. They did and I continued.

Second: Even other APIs were not CORS authorized so I again had to reach out to the recruiter for the same.

Third: The API itself was not well designed as per HTTP standards.

Once I submitted the assignment, it took them 3 weeks to reach back to me with the results because the “developer” who was supposed to evaluate my assignment was on vacation.

The assignment was in itself a tedious task because they expect you to use what they are already using like tanstack table, tanstack query, react-hook-form etc. Along with that they want it to be 99.99999% to be as per the figma design that they provide.

I got a feeling that it was a task that they were assigned by product and wanted a candidate to complete the task for them. The closest matching code they will fork, make minute changes and merge in the main branch.

After 3 weeks , they came back with the result and rejected me by giving the following lame reasons:

1. Font family used was different than given in figma
2. No toast message when adding or removing a charger(although i had mentioned in comments and readme that this can be a future improvement)
3. No title tag in the html within layout.tsx

Although they gave good feedback about the overall project and the functionality. They agreed that everything works as it was supposed to be in the requirement document.

The reason for rejection is the lamest I have ever heard from any tech company. If some company is rejecting me for using the wrong font-family, MAN! I would like to stay away from that organization.

I think first the devs at fastned need to work on themselves to provide a robust BE to start the assignment and not commit changes to the assignment while the candidate is working on them. They were highly unprofessional.

Trust me guys, no matter how much in need of a job you are, try your luck some other place. They are just getting their product stories completed from candidates while themselves enjoying vacations.

The overall process from HR call to assignment evaluation result took unnecessarily 1 month. POINTLESS!
