Business Outlook
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.
