Pros: There was interesting work to do, with a world-class engineering department. Teams there built systems that outperformed larger competitors.

Cons: Dysfunctional, abrasive, underperforming executives, leading a revolving door of incompetent product/marketing management unable to understand what Fastly does, or how to sell it to customers. Botched acquisitions and downsizing have left engineering staff gradually cut down to the bone, leaving people fighting constant fires and swimming upstream against a myopic, unambitious vision from leadership.

Pros: They have a great PTO policy and a chill work culture.

Cons: Changes are low-velocity because uptime/reliability is king, so it's hard to climb fast and make lots of change

Pros: An effort is made for people to feel seen at work regardless of background.

Cons: Dysfunctional product team, hard to ship product.
