Pros

Fastly has just the right mix of startup culture with work/life balance. People throughout the company truly care about each other, provided you make an effort to connect with other employees at events (internal tech talks, catered lunches, etc.) and build the relationship. Recent hires in key positions will make all the difference in the company's direction.

Cons

At times, the decision making tree can be difficult to work with. However, the company is actively looking to streamline the processes so that all the things that currently take weeks, can be evaluated and approved (or declined, as the case might be) far more quickly and efficiently.

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.
