Pros

I would recommend working at Akamai because it is one of the most interesting companies in the tech sector right now. Those are my views: - Bleeding edge technolies and products - Runs at the heart of the internet, most companies for which doing businesses online use it - The company has just the right size, about 2000 employees and management is very responsable and accesible - Challenging environment - Faithful to its original principles and deep values, very inline with its founders - Financially very stable - Salary is inline with the tech sector or even a bit above it

Cons

I have no regrets to outline

Pros

Genuinely collaborative culture with talented, supportive colleagues across sales, marketing, and technical teams. * Strong work-life balance and flexibility compared to many companies in the cybersecurity industry. * Meaningful products and technology with a strong reputation in the market. * Employees are trusted to own their work without excessive micromanagement. * Good benefits and a people-first culture that generally prioritizes employee well-being.

Cons

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
