Pros
They're still paying our salaries (for now).
Cons
Leadership are lost and have no clue what to do about the failing performance of the core business. We're trying to convince investors that we're an "AI company" now, but nobody is falling for it. The engineers say that we're wasting our time, and the feedback from the "AI Accelerator" was universally negative. It was embarrassing for the company, but leadership react badly when anyone points out a problem. Overall, the company is desperate for investors to bail us out because customers are not happy and retention rates are falling fast. Nobody wants Fastly because we can't build software anymore. I wish was part of the layoffs, because now they're just firing people instead which is much worse. This job is horrible.
