Pros

I began my employment at Akamai in the middle of the COVID pandemic, and have been working remotely ever since. They have bent over backwards to make sure I am welcomed to the company, connected to my peers and any resources I need, and make my mental wellness a priority during this stressful time. I can't say enough good things about how wonderful they treat their employees at Akamai. The people are intelligent and passionate, and the technology is complex and highly interesting. There is a constant drive to improve and make the products better and solve real customer needs. I would recommend this company to anyone.

Cons

Any con I could give would just be nitpicking. This company is great.

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.
