Pros

Solid product with some solid customer logos. Good team dynamics depending on the team you’re on and support that team has. Mid-level management really cares. Benefits are solid.

Cons

Lack of diversity in both thought and demographics in the senior leadership team, with the majority being from Cisco. When a CEO brings over essentially a whole C-Suite from their previous company you can expect a lack of inclusivity. Seriously underpays employees compared to current market value. Specific teams regularly overworked and horribly undervalued. CEO says jump and you’re expected to blindly say how high. Little to no support from senior leadership when issues or concerns are posed. Alleged insider trading. Note this has not been proven, but there are several concerns and claims of this happening. Sharp decline in culture. The culture is only ever talked about on surface level and no action is taken when employee surveys denote an issue.

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.
