Pros: Inspiring product. The "culture" can be fun and there are all the regular startup perks.It is exciting and Karaoke is a sport here and people play it well. There are tequila tastings even though they might not be fully work appropriate.

Cons: Management is a mess and as more people join it seems to get worse. Across organizations high performing people get undermined or demeaned and the choice of who is promoted is confounding. My management has a massive temper and is uncommunicative even in direct inquiries. When in person my manager has a tendency to lash out including anger and yelling. In my situation my direct management is pretty offensive both in how he treats other people and how he treats me. If you are looking for good working relationships or to have an impact and you are not already buddy buddy with someone at Fastly I would think hard before joining.

Pros: The company has great benefits and culture. They treat you overall well.

Cons: Seem very aimless at times and lacking leadership from technical team

Pros: Good work/life balance, strong C level leadership, stock is recovering, customers love us.

Cons: Very inexperienced managers in some engineering organizations with zero strategy or communication. Weak engineering culture of poor documentation, no communication, lack of rigor and process. Management makes the big decisions and leaves out IC engineers. Much of Fastly still operates like it's a 30 person startup and everyone knows everything about everyone. We have a lot of engineers that started when Fastly was very young and now have leadership level positions. This leaves out other experienced engineers and leads to high level engineers not understanding how a more mature and larger engineering org should function.
