Pros

Interesting technology and problem space, lots of smart coworkers

Cons

Leadership has completely changed since I joined. New leadership seems to be prioritizing an in-office culture (in spite of majority of company having always been remote). Perks like wellness days are looking like they'll be clawed back. TONS of pressure to "do more with less" as company closes off most hiring. They way we're hyper-fixated on margin tells me we're only getting worse. Run.

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.
