Pros

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

Great technology, smart people, market leader in their segment. Recognition from other people in internet companies. Good salaries, benefits. Great commute if you're in Cambridge.

Cons

Competitive, especially between development roles and non-development teams. Sometimes value knowledge over social skills and teamwork. It helps to be from MIT. Difficult commute if you live outside 128.
