Pros
Fastly is growing quickly and has a lot of opportunity for the right people. The products and offerings are bleeding edge and being a part of the future of the internet is really cool.
Cons
Fastly is great on paper but fails in practice. In an effort to appear as though they are doing "all the right things" they miss the mark of actually creating a welcoming and supportive place to work. Hiring and promotions are often based on who is friends with who before quality of work. Some people work 60 hours a week, some work 20-30 - both being paid FTE. A mass exodus is beginning and Fastly is placing warm fuzzies over actually addressing the issues. Teams have conflicting goals, which creates tension and inefficiencies. New internal tools get added routinely with little to no context on why or feedback from the people who have to use them. When rolling out a tool, there is not discussion around EOL'ing the current ones (e.g., there are currently four training tools, all being used). Anonymous employee satisfaction survey's are by no means anonymous and when presenting feedback to company, neutral and negative feedback is scrubbed from the list.
