Pros: There are a lot of great people to learn from.

Cons: We have too many leaders and too few individual contributors who actually do the work

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: There is a good work life balance here.

Cons: There was lots of change in leadership.
