Pros
1. Employees are empowered to act and interact freely across the company and at all levels to get the job done; 2. Akamai employees represent a company that has a proprietary, world-class product that is in high demand; 3. Employees are genuinely excited about Akamai's technology; 4. The company is fiscally conservative but invests in good benefits, equipment and training; 5. The culture welcomes unique ideas, innovation and opinions and places greater value on these than position or title.
Cons
If you are someone who thrives in a well-structured, unambiguous and procedures-based environment, you might feel a bit frustrated here.
