Pros

Good people, good products, good services makes it a great place to work, learn and share with the best and brightest folks at Akamai

Cons

tough place to survive, only for the bright and one who can constantly evolve. If you are seeking a calm role, this is not the place. Join if you seek a thrilling fast paced environment

A great place to work

Pros

The people are great -- none of the office politics or management arrogance I've seen in other companies of this size. Just a great environment to work in. Vacation time is very flexible.

Cons

Parking is expensive. Lunch can easily be expensive. And there are not enough facilities to really support any sort of warm lunch.
