Pros

IC level colleagues are typically great. ENG and Product leadership is finally starting to figure out how to work together. Health care is decent and end of year wellness week. It’s a good place to get a few years experience in a new area or role for your resume. If you’re semi competent and have a backbone, work life balance is pretty good. Simon is awesome.

Cons

New exec team wrecked and continues to wreck company culture and the share price. All new incoming execs appear to be white guys affiliated with Cisco. HR is oddly invested in trying to develop bad managers that are destroying teams instead of, you know, getting rid of bad managers and keeping good ICs. Sales can’t seem to figure out how to compensate good sellers and drop sellers that game incentives for a better payout. Everyone wants “data driven decisions” but the already anemic data team keeps getting smaller?

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.
