Pros

Still leader in CDN. Decent comp. Smart people.

Cons

No longer developing core technology. New growth area products (Compute (Linode) and Security products) are all acquired and not home-grown. Big pressure on Sales to sell Compute. (Huge quota driving Sales to resign in droves.)

Pros

Genuinely collaborative culture with talented, supportive colleagues across sales, marketing, and technical teams. * Strong work-life balance and flexibility compared to many companies in the cybersecurity industry. * Meaningful products and technology with a strong reputation in the market. * Employees are trusted to own their work without excessive micromanagement. * Good benefits and a people-first culture that generally prioritizes employee well-being.

Cons

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
