Pros

Small, interesting space, a few great people with hearts of gold

Cons

Extremely poor leadership. Especially in Marketing. Toxic, biased, offensive. CMO hires his favorites, lots of nepotism — very little internal recognition or promotion. Little to no strategy. A few people are carrying Marketing on their backs and everyone knows it. 99% of senior leadership in Marketing including CMO practice bad marketing. Silos, very little culture, lots of complaining, no direction, designed to see people fail. Business is failing. Look at the past quarters. People are getting desperate and the environment is heavy. Would NOT advise anyone take a job here. On a downward spiral.

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.
