Pros

Akamai has a very unique story to tell. Its people and platform are second to none, and its customer base is normally very loyal. The compensation for a sales role is above market and the company has an unlimited time off policy. You are held accountable for delivering on your sales targets, but rewarded handsomely for doing so. The company recognizes and takes care of its top performers.

Cons

At times, there is a lack of transparency with respect to company vision and direction. Workflow systems are inefficient and company channel structure needs to be revamped. Work -Life balance can be lost or forfeited if you are not organized and efficient. Money never sleeps at Akamai so you're always on the clock.
