Pros

Solid core product Some teams have decent work environments: Engineering, Recruiting, Finance, Legal

Cons

No focus on growing the business (there is talk but very little action) Weakest Senior Leadership team I have worked with No focus on execution Way too many general office politics for a start-up The earlier employees are very cliquish and are not open to ideas from newer employees Earlier employees are randomly promoted in to roles they have no experience in

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.
