      Pros

      Work life balance. If you are a slacker, you can get away with doing very little. I’ve seen this happen time and time again. People who are really great at telling their bosses how great they are will get promoted. The work is pretty cool.

      Cons

      Those that work hard, get more work. Promotions are unfairly awarded Lazy colleagues

      Pros

      I began my employment at Akamai in the middle of the COVID pandemic, and have been working remotely ever since. They have bent over backwards to make sure I am welcomed to the company, connected to my peers and any resources I need, and make my mental wellness a priority during this stressful time. I can't say enough good things about how wonderful they treat their employees at Akamai. The people are intelligent and passionate, and the technology is complex and highly interesting. There is a constant drive to improve and make the products better and solve real customer needs. I would recommend this company to anyone.

      Cons

      Any con I could give would just be nitpicking. This company is great.
