Great place to work

Pros

Fast growing, positive place to work. Fastly takes good care of its employees. Competitive pay, benefits, the usual unnecessary office perks, company events, etc. If you're in engineering you will be measuring your requests per second in the millions, in network engineering your bandwidth in terabits, and in customer facing roles you will sell to or support the busiest sites on the Internet. If you want to work on something cool that can get you excited about coming to work every day, this is a good place to do it.

Cons

Typical growing pains of a fast growing startup. Fastly struggles to scale the human aspects of its process, but this takes any company time.

Pros

- Amazing product that customers LOVE - Solid product roadmap - Great company culture - Growing sales team/culture

Cons

Historically Fastly has been a primarily engineering focused company with little investment into sales. Over the last year, Sales has become a much larger part of the business so it will be important for the leadership team to continue to encourage and enable sales to succeed.

Most balanced company I've worked for

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.
