Pros

The company is very careful in hiring and hires only those who fit the Akamai Culture. This is one of the main reasons why we are able to gel well with most of the employees. The training is very engaging, useful and smooth. No unnecessary pressure. Every employee is encouraged to contribute with new ideas for the company to grow. The CEO is always available on call and email. This shows how levels of hierarchy have been bridged. The company provides door-to-door cab facility for all the employees which is very useful. Free food, Health Club membership and RSUs are among other attractive benefits.

Cons

Havent come across until now. The company needs to show that it is a pioneer and leader in the domain of internet optimisation and security. People should know that the most used sites like Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, Apple are all powered by Akamai.

Pros

Work-Life balance, work culture, free food and snacks, lots of team outings, decent pay package.

Cons

Lots of clashes happening over the right solution for any given problem scenario, which sometimes feels like autocracy of few people who wants to do things certain way and you have to end up implementing things that way. Unless you have good arguing and convincing powers, you might end up doing things and implementing stuffs the way in which the other person wants it.
