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%.

Pros

If you are fortunate enough to be hired under a strong, mature, professional, and caring manager, you can survive. A great boss can provide you with the necessary air cover and guidance through the quagmire that is the Fastly environment.

Cons

C-Suite CEO HR Everything not related to company profitability.
