Pros

Overall, Akamai is a good company. They frequently send out surveys on employee concerns and morale. In the beginning, I was proud to be an employee.

Cons

There is absolutely no game plan, focus, or strategy. It's a circus with Ferris wheels, rollercoasters, and games. There is no training for new employees, which makes it extremely frustrating for anyone who works remotely.

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.
