      Lost its luster

      Senior principal software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are a lot of smart people, and Akamai touches every part of the internet throughout the world. Some interesting problems to be solved that some engineers get to address

      Cons

      Processes are stuck in the past. Deployment models are stuck in 2005. They pulled back on internal development and innovation before pandemic. It is more a sales-driven organization than engineering-driven. Too focused on quarterly numbers since being pestered by Elliot Management a few years ago.

      Great company, conservative

      Sales director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Extremely employee friendly. Liberal positioning. Co-Founding is still the CEO. Customers love the products and the products are stable and very good.

      Cons

      Sometimes too conservative. The products are perceived by the market as being expensive and many best of breed solutions are selected ahead of Akamai solutions. Marketing is poor. The marketplace doesn't fully understand the value of Akamai.
