Pros

Akamai's corporate culture makes you enjoy coming to work on Monday morning. We're responsible for the internet, so we're in the cloud and working with cutting edge technology. Add fair market compensation to the mix with a good bonus, company stock, and good benefits. There's no other employer in South Florida who can compete with this mix.

Cons

Our location was acquired, so now there are more processes and procedures which we're not used to. It slows down the process, but at the same time it is necessary for a company that is as large as Akamai. A very small negative in the grand scheme of things.

Cons

UK head office is based in Addlestone - poor location for almost every reason. Commute is a pain, lunch is horrible in the area etc.

Pros

World class services in both web acceleration and security. Bright future because services are in high demand by global companies.
