Pros

I would recommend working at Akamai because it is one of the most interesting companies in the tech sector right now. Those are my views: - Bleeding edge technolies and products - Runs at the heart of the internet, most companies for which doing businesses online use it - The company has just the right size, about 2000 employees and management is very responsable and accesible - Challenging environment - Faithful to its original principles and deep values, very inline with its founders - Financially very stable - Salary is inline with the tech sector or even a bit above it

Cons

I have no regrets to outline

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.
