Pros

Work from home (Akamai Anywhere) Time off program (no set number of vacation days, just get it approved by your manager) Overall a smart work force with interesting projects Pretty good benefits

Cons

Career path is not always clear Generally they'll pay you as little as you can, need to be aggressive about pay bumps. Benefits are alright, but some other high tech companies in the area are definitely better

Work Life Balance Rewarding Work and Responsibilities Quality Benefits Stock Options & Compensation are competitive Continuing Education Reimbursement Diversity of the community

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.
