Business Outlook
Pros
- Excellent compensation and benefits. - Kendall Square is great location for those commuting via T and rail (have bus from No. Station).
Cons
- 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.
