Amazing company culture

Pros

As expressed in my headline, the culture here is phenomenal. You can see it comes all the way from the top. Our CEO, Joshua Bixby, is extremely caring and human and has proven to be an excellent leader for the company. Fastly really cares about its employees and is doing amazing things in tech as an added bonus. They are working on some really engineering heavy things here that attract top talent. They're also very transparent and exercise all of their values.

Cons

Compensation is lower for people outside of the Bay Area but still very competitive

Pros

The product is actually quite good -- nothing to be ashamed of there.

Cons

If you're not accepted by whatever clique you might need to interface with to do your job to the best of your abilities, you're basically completely screwed. Don't expect anyone in human resources to lift a finger to help -- they're basically on THEIR side 100%.
