Pros

Good technology, great benefits and few approachable members in leadership roles

Cons

Most groups are treated as back office. Very less scope for any new ideas. Its more of work directed and dictated by US and executed here. Rules are bent and changed based on levels. Lot of smaller teams form copying the thoughts of Indian teams and then the team is treated badly. Very less respect / value for tenured employees.

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.
