Pros

Fast-paced environment with an energy level that is contagious. I have never worked with so many smart and talented individuals who are always willing to help each other out. The company demands a lot from its employees, but in return it makes a concerted effort to compensate them well, hear their feedback and make Akamai a great place to work.

Cons

Like many high-growth companies, Akamai has its share of growing pains, particularly in the areas of processes, systems and communication. The company acknowledges them and has made a point of prioritizing the areas which need to be addressed in order for the company to continue to scale.

Pros

Global company with locations everywhere. Lots of opportunity to move around and try new roles. Really engineering oriented. A plus if you went to MIT as its where the heart of this company is.

Cons

Narrow minded thinking as related to how to work strategically in the future.
