Pros

Cool culture, flexible timings, friendly people, great projects, fun, flat organisation. Future backbone of Internet.

Cons

None. You may get 1 rotten apple among 100 apples. Just discard it.

Pros

If you are a minority, you will do really well in Akamai. You'll do even better (fast track) if you are Jewish. A good deal of our senior managers are of the tribe, so you'll be well taken care of.

Cons

A little too touchy feely for me.

Pros

Work life balance, good food, excellent cab services. A little away from startup it had been a few years ago. Good work environment

Cons

No challenging work. Politics within teams and inter-team politics too. Bad rating system. Over-hiring over the past few years. Once-great nterview process has been slacking.
