Pros

Some of your colleagues actually try to do a good job.

Cons

Over a decade of terrible leadership has really come home to roost. The company is way below IPO price due to a steady stream of the worst executive hires I've ever seen. Is the new CEO and head of product any good? Who knows, but even if they are total geniuses they wont be digging out of the massive hole they're in. Talented collegues who weren't lucky enough to bail during a better job market are quitting anyway to take pay cuts, because who would you want to spend their time working for these people.

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.
