Pros

If you're one of the ~100 engineers here you'll be making a big contribution to the system that runs 10% of the internet. There are scale problems here that happen at very few companies this size. Your peers are competent and kind.

Cons

There's still more work to be done paying off tech debt from the early years.

Pros

If you are fortunate enough to be hired under a strong, mature, professional, and caring manager, you can survive. A great boss can provide you with the necessary air cover and guidance through the quagmire that is the Fastly environment.

Cons

C-Suite CEO HR Everything not related to company profitability.
