Pros

Great place that ensures diversity and promotes ideas that come from any part of the company. Pay well with good benefits. Flexibility with commute. Stable company. Revenue expected to grow.

Cons

Culture has changed over the years. Large company culture with several junior and middle level managers who does not have the culture that senior leadership is trying to inculcate. Very short term view on performance evaluation of employees. Employee surveys seems not effective. Revenue growth acceleration unlikely as Akamai cannot innovate and compete with nimble younger companies.

Pros

Genuinely collaborative culture with talented, supportive colleagues across sales, marketing, and technical teams. * Strong work-life balance and flexibility compared to many companies in the cybersecurity industry. * Meaningful products and technology with a strong reputation in the market. * Employees are trusted to own their work without excessive micromanagement. * Good benefits and a people-first culture that generally prioritizes employee well-being.

Cons

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
