Pros
Akamai is the standard-bearer in an increasingly competitive market, but without question the one with proven technology and competitive value-added tech. Their strong chief executive leads a generally solid and dedicated team of players throughout the organization. It's a fun and rewarding place to work without the "perks" designed to keep overtaxed workers quiet.
Cons
A company wouldn’t be a company without a few challenges, but on the whole, Computerworld, Boston Globe, Forbes and others are right: this is one of the best places to work. That said, career trajectory in the past was somewhat limited thanks to “lifers” in leadership roles, but the job is rewarding, the people are smart, and you feel proud to be a part of the team.
