Pros

We're allowed to work from home during weekends and holidays.

Cons

- Failing business. - 70 hour work weeks. - Constant politics with teams and leaders undermining each other. - Non-technical executives imposing technical solutions based on the buzzword of the day. - Personal branding and self-promotion is encouraged, so lots of clueless web developers are given "leadership" on major projects they are unsuitable for.

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.
