Pros

There are very talented people in every part of the business and at seemingly every level. The detail in almost everything is scrutinized and appreciated for what it is or isn't. The scale of your work is unlimited, everything (for better or worse) grows to a massive scale.

Cons

Learning how to get started can delay the ability to contribute for the first few weeks/months. It can be difficult to collaborate with people in entirely different business units.

Cons

Akamai is still learning to grow into the enterprise-level organization it strives to be. There are no major cons to share in effort to discourage someone from applying, but like most jobs, few are perfect.
