Akamai reviews

- Very old school with internal tech - IT invests in making Akamai products great, needs to also invest in productivity tools and modernizing systems. - Sales lives in a legacy that didn't require hunting, or much nurturing. That's gone, and Sales needs to adapt to the digital age. - Marketing morale is extremely low, the result of multiple reorganizations over the past 2 years, ongoing layoffs and a lack of authentic and meaningful communication from leadership. - Generally, there is a lack of structure and process, and many silos. That was okay for a start up. Akamai needs to evolve.

My manager for instance prohibited work from home as an option and expected everyone to work more than 8 hours a day with being 8 hours to be present in office. For eg you were looked down upon if you take your job as a 9-5 job and your job is considered below satisfaction if you work your 40 hours. I had an on call aspect for which we were not compensated but were expected to wake up in nights and work on weekends to fix the issues. Everyone in my team is overworked but Akamai doesn't have more budget to hire. If you are a new hire especially out of college Akamai doesn't have a proper training program and you are expected to pick up as you go instead of a proper training first(Although I am sure most companies don't)
