      if you want to be on top of the IT , akamai is the place to be. You will never have enough time to catch up with everything going on here because the technology advances so quickly

      Cons

      our brand value is very low compared to what we do. Mainly due to the invisibility to end-users. people do not recognize our logo or what we do.

      Pros

      1. Employees are empowered to act and interact freely across the company and at all levels to get the job done; 2. Akamai employees represent a company that has a proprietary, world-class product that is in high demand; 3. Employees are genuinely excited about Akamai's technology; 4. The company is fiscally conservative but invests in good benefits, equipment and training; 5. The culture welcomes unique ideas, innovation and opinions and places greater value on these than position or title.

      Cons

      If you are someone who thrives in a well-structured, unambiguous and procedures-based environment, you might feel a bit frustrated here.
