Pros

Very smart colleagues. The most brilliant engineers who had prior good experience with UX loved my role and welcomed me into the process.

Cons

Reorgs and regular reprioritizing projects confounded good progress with our work flow. There were many nearly-complete projects I was pulled from without making final positive impact to the release. Frustrating.

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.
