Pros

Established market presence as leading CDN vendor. Good salary package. Best place to learn about Internet world. It must be fantastic to learn how they deliver huge traffic over their infrastructure.

Cons

Too political corporate culture. No vision and no adaptation to cloud computing oriented IT world. No skills to develop new technology, just buy and merge companies to adapt new services. They just want to sell "simple and easy" solution, no insight for improving web performance.

Pros

Hard working, smart people, willing to help in your development and career growth. Open to new ideas and suggestions.

Cons

Some processes have unnecessary obstacles/difficulties. May be due to being very centralized which creates a strong need to understand other regions.
