Pros

Nice benefits and location. some great people to work with..while most seem to have no problem stabbing people in the back or throwing people under the bus. Gaslighting is a true art form within Akamai saw this happen to several people before it happen to me.

Cons

Terrible work/life balance, only way to keep up is to take computer home and work evening and weekends including vacations. lack of true opportunities unless part of the good ol boy's club....women not welcome.
