Pros

Akamai is a company that is constantly innovating, developing new products and feature sets. In the past 3-4 years it has also acquired several companies and integrated them into the organization. Good life/work balance. Training, training and more training, most everyone attends at least 1-2 trainings per week to stay current with the latest products. Overall, a great company to work for!

Cons

There used to be an option called Akamai Anywhere, which allowed employees to work remotely from anywhere and not hold a permanent space in a corporate location. This option was discontinued 2-3 years ago. There has been talent lost for whom otherwise would have stayed with the organization if this option were available.

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.
