Pros

Platform Akamai is smart and progressive but you won't work for this Akamai...

Cons

An important distinction for job seekers is that there is Platform Akamai (smart) and Akamai GSSM which is accidentally rich but otherwise backward, business unsavvy, intellectually stunted and misogynist

Pay is below standard and the culture is one of those drink the kolaid and worship the company or Punished for your Blasphemy

Pros

Good wages, don't have to work very hard. In fact, don't work very hard: they're not intetested. Actually, some of the biggest names in the tech biz worked there, gettinng the heck out as fast as they could.

Cons

What a sad, sad place. Full of people who have given up and are just pulling down a paycheck by scrupulously following arbitrary office rules. All baby pictures on cubicle walls must contain at least one rubber duck. Of course there are exceptions, but this appears to be more of the rule. Any company that still heavily boasts of inventing the consistent hash has some serious laurel sitting going on: "Oh yeah? Well, we invented TURNIPS! Take that, Mister you-and-your-cool-social-app guy! How do ya like THOSE … umm … turnips?" In short, a has-been place for those not going anywhere in a hurry.
