Great product, smart people, low innovation

Pros

Smart people all over at Akamai. Even the Lifers are clever and active. Product is phenomenal and operates at incredible scale. Automation and efficiency are top notch. Work from home flexibility is great.

Cons

Internal innovation has stagnated. Much of the bright, creative, innovators have left. Today, the company feels more like a acquisition management group funded by the core product's revenues than an innovative tech company.

At times, difficulty to get hold of people or complete tasks that depend on others; lack of standardization when it comes to internally used tools
