      Pros

      Akamai builds world class cloud security tools, promotes volunteerism and community service around local offices, health benefits are top notch, mid-level management is competent and many at this level were individual contributors who are generally technical, understand day-to-day challenges, and have completed leadership and management training (both)

      Cons

      poor work-life balance, most colleagues are good people - however, some of the smartest people have difficulty interacting with others, chaotic knowledge management, high learning curve
