Pros

Great place that ensures diversity and promotes ideas that come from any part of the company. Pay well with good benefits. Flexibility with commute. Stable company. Revenue expected to grow.

Cons

Culture has changed over the years. Large company culture with several junior and middle level managers who does not have the culture that senior leadership is trying to inculcate. Very short term view on performance evaluation of employees. Employee surveys seems not effective. Revenue growth acceleration unlikely as Akamai cannot innovate and compete with nimble younger companies.

Cons

Akamai is still learning to grow into the enterprise-level organization it strives to be. There are no major cons to share in effort to discourage someone from applying, but like most jobs, few are perfect.
