Pros

I feel so fortunate to have found a company like Akamai, I believe is the company of the future, great innovation. Senior management cares, they are extremely intelligent and are always willing to lend a helping hand. I am learning so much in my time at Akamai and continue to do so everyday. It's one of the few companies left, that actually cares about their employees well being and keeping talent.

Cons

Depending on what department you are in, there may not be much room for career development.

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.
