Pros

I joined Akamai through an acquisition, and found the experience amazing. Great products, great people and the company truly cares for its employees.

Cons

The only con from my experience is that the Akamai has acquired several companies over the years in order to build a complete tech stack, how ever this can be demanding on the sales engineers as it requires them to be spread a bit thin across all the technologies vs focusing an specializing on a few.

Pros

Genuinely collaborative culture with talented, supportive colleagues across sales, marketing, and technical teams. * Strong work-life balance and flexibility compared to many companies in the cybersecurity industry. * Meaningful products and technology with a strong reputation in the market. * Employees are trusted to own their work without excessive micromanagement. * Good benefits and a people-first culture that generally prioritizes employee well-being.

Cons

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
