Pros

Established market presence as leading CDN vendor. Good salary package. Best place to learn about Internet world. It must be fantastic to learn how they deliver huge traffic over their infrastructure.

Cons

Too political corporate culture. No vision and no adaptation to cloud computing oriented IT world. No skills to develop new technology, just buy and merge companies to adapt new services. They just want to sell "simple and easy" solution, no insight for improving web performance.

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.
