Pros

The company is very careful in hiring and hires only those who fit the Akamai Culture. This is one of the main reasons why we are able to gel well with most of the employees. The training is very engaging, useful and smooth. No unnecessary pressure. Every employee is encouraged to contribute with new ideas for the company to grow. The CEO is always available on call and email. This shows how levels of hierarchy have been bridged. The company provides door-to-door cab facility for all the employees which is very useful. Free food, Health Club membership and RSUs are among other attractive benefits.

Cons

Havent come across until now. The company needs to show that it is a pioneer and leader in the domain of internet optimisation and security. People should know that the most used sites like Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, Apple are all powered by Akamai.

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.
