      Management lacks vision

      Pros

      Good compensation and work like balance. There are a lot of smart people within tech that you get to interact with.

      Cons

      Employees are commodities for the management to dispose of without any set criteria. They lack the vision to run the company and the tech is struggling to compete with other players in the market. There is a clear bias towards protecting business-side and firing hard working engineers who drive innovation. In the long run company will struggle to get a foot hold in the market if they mistreat employees. Management doesn’t provide any opportunity to grow and recent layoffs have decreased overall morale.

      Pros

      Akamai was a great place to work. Many smart people and great ideas.

      Cons

      Too many middle managers. There is little room for growth and management doesn’t always want their team members to grow.
