      Pros

      I feel so fortunate to have found a company like Akamai, I believe is the company of the future, great innovation. Senior management cares, they are extremely intelligent and are always willing to lend a helping hand. I am learning so much in my time at Akamai and continue to do so everyday. It's one of the few companies left, that actually cares about their employees well being and keeping talent.

      Cons

      Depending on what department you are in, there may not be much room for career development.

      Pros

      Super exciting company at the cutting edge of the Internet evolution. For a company that is not a household name, you have the opportunity to work on projects that will change the way that billions of people interact with Internet experiences every day. Akamai's global network is leading the charge to bring broadcast quality TV experiences to any connected Internet user. Their cloud performance and security businesses are enabling the latest and greatest consumer experiences from the top companies in the world. Working here is a challenge and rewarding every single day.

      Cons

      Akamai is experiencing a hyper growth period and this has it's growing pains. More of the workforce is new than old so building context and relationships to operate effectively in the organization can be challenging for some newcomers.

      One of the Best Places to Work

      Pros

      Akamai is the standard-bearer in an increasingly competitive market, but without question the one with proven technology and competitive value-added tech. Their strong chief executive leads a generally solid and dedicated team of players throughout the organization. It's a fun and rewarding place to work without the "perks" designed to keep overtaxed workers quiet.

      Cons

      A company wouldn’t be a company without a few challenges, but on the whole, Computerworld, Boston Globe, Forbes and others are right: this is one of the best places to work. That said, career trajectory in the past was somewhat limited thanks to “lifers” in leadership roles, but the job is rewarding, the people are smart, and you feel proud to be a part of the team.
