Pros

if you want to be on top of the IT , akamai is the place to be. You will never have enough time to catch up with everything going on here because the technology advances so quickly

Cons

our brand value is very low compared to what we do. Mainly due to the invisibility to end-users. people do not recognize our logo or what we do.

Genuinely collaborative culture with talented, supportive colleagues across sales, marketing, and technical teams. * Strong work-life balance and flexibility compared to many companies in the cybersecurity industry. * Meaningful products and technology with a strong reputation in the market. * Employees are trusted to own their work without excessive micromanagement. * Good benefits and a people-first culture that generally prioritizes employee well-being.

Cons

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
