      Pros

      The people are dedicated and very smart. There is generally a culture of continuous improvement. Always more to learn. Never boring.

      Cons

      There are some growing pains as the company gets larger. Many legacy systems and processes need replacing and sometimes get in the way of getting things done for customers.

      Pros

      Incredibly smart and talented people surround you. The culture inspires you to try and do the impossible and with that comes a great deal of pride in your work. Excellent leadership at the top. Competitive pay and good benefits.

      Cons

      Lots of growing pains while greatly expanding over last 3-5 years. At times poor communication from middle management and even between different business units internally. Very thrifty company when it comes to some things, specifically depreciable assets (hardware) and IT engineering. This leads to an under-served lab/engineering base and IT infrastructure that does not live up to Akamai's need to exist on the bleeding edge.
