Pros

- You'll meet some cool people - Good benefits, work/life balance, unlimited PTO - Wellness days

Cons

- The most common solution to any frustrations you share with your manager is to "explore other opportunities" externally at other companies - Seems like only those who are explicitly vocal about how long and hard they work get promotions -- I've seen plenty of people get passed over because they weren't as vocal about how many hours they put in - Couldn't tell you what half the company does - Culture used to be amazing, but it took a drastic turn for the worse when Joshua stepped down from CEO and original C-level leaders changed over - Lots of opportunities to provide company feedback, but nothing comes of it -- it's all for show - Pay is not great

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.
