Pros

- People are nice and friendly. A few of them actually work hard - Office is well kept and in a good location (Lunch provided most days) - Competitive Salary with decent compensation when they aren't changing it every 3 months.

Cons

- Can't retain leadership (get their stock, then they quit and sell) Lot's of company nepotism in the leadership currently. Bunch of ex-Cisco folks who cant sell their vision. - Late to the game on nearly every single product release. Waste time on things like a sustainability dashboard, while our competitors come out with products their customers actually want. - Marketing has absolutely no vision, budget, or the headcount to make a difference.

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.
