Pros

Akamai can serve as an excellent career platform, enabling growth within and across organizations and really testing a persons capabilities and potential

Cons

Akamai is notorious for over-complicating things and it makes the simplistic tasks laborious and often political. Be prepared to work incredibly hard for a career. A person pulling a 40hr working week and waiting to be notice will not succeed.
