      Pros

      Fully remote work is a shining light in an industry where many companies (google, amazon, twitter) are actively trying to harm people with outdated and meaningless return to office policies. Most employees are friendly and easy to work with.

      Cons

      Senior leadership is failing spectacularly. Executives have been attempting to pivot Akamai's business model; not only have they been failing, but they have been punishing employees along the way. Cash bonuses were eliminated and changed to stock-based, and all executive decisions have crashed the stock price - significantly slashing bonuses. On top of that, the C-suite is basically eliminating merit increases under the guise of 'investing in the company'. Unfortunately, they don't realize the company is the people, and all these short-sighted decisions are causing long-term damage.
