Pros

This is a company with a lot of heart, great ethics, and a real culture of trying to do the right thing. They don't always succeed, but their customers love them, and they are really striving to be a great place to work with great products.

Cons

Let's face it: since the IPO this company has gotten a lot of pressure from Wall Street to focus more on its bottom line and less on keeping its employees and its customers happy. I think the company leadership has largely resisted that kind of pressure and still has an amazing financial outlook.

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.
