Pros

RSU, pay, and bonus was great. Working from home was great too!

Cons

Marketing is toxic. Being a woman at Akamai is challenging. If you're a woman, beware of working for another woman at this company. Hypocritical female executives.

Pros

* Smart people * Great products * Great pay / generous bonuses * Medical benefits above average * Lots of extras - cell phone and gym allowance

Cons

After 2 years, the company made a pivot to no longer focus on the product I was working on. They have put all efforts and money into their bot and security businesses. Lots of good people were let go. Make sure you're working on a product that is *HOT* or you, too, will be looking for a new job.
