      Pros

      I have worked at Akamai for 3 years. Its a great company to work for with lots of perks and good amount of benefits. The work life balance is great and the culture is very welcoming. Many exciting opportunities to work with cutting edge technologies and make a difference.

      Cons

      Promotions are hard to come by at Akamai. Managers are not very experienced and a lot of hiring is based on who you know. Although the message is that title's don't matter, they still do.

      Pros

      Smart, creative environment with a heavy academic influence -- great place to be an engineer

      Cons

      Open vacation policy sounds great but is rarely practiced by employees, many of whom seem overworked -- it's up to the individual to take advantage of vacations

      Pros

      Setting own schedule. Working from home

      Cons

      Hard to move up. No incentive. Management doesn't know what the hell is going on most of the time. Low pay.
