- hboon 14y agoI can't comment on the 2 companies financials, but as an ex-FAST employee, I can vouch that working there in a pre-sales role was fun times for me. I have only heard of people saying it's horrible to work in Autonomy, but it might be selection bias. If anyone of you are in the enterprise software space as an engineer, you really ought to consider working in pre-sales. You get to build a highly valuable skill set that compliments what you know already.
