My name is Jaynti, and I want to share with you my thoughts about Akamai's ReVive program. 💭 Akamai’s ReVive program helps working professionals get back to work after a career break, in my case, an 8 year-long gap. This opportunity has reinstated my confidence and given me a positive outlook. I am thankful to Akamai and the sales team for identifying my strengths to fit the job profile. 🙏🏻 Though it was a completely unknown domain, the team has been motivating and supporting me in all instances. It didn't take me long to realize I’ve joined the right place – one that’s not only inclusive but also provides employees an opportunity to build their skills. I am gratified and lucky to be part of the Standardized Develop team and proud to be employed with Akamai.

As you may already know, we recently launched Flexbase, Akamai's global flexible working program 💻 If you are unfamiliar with FlexBase, please see here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_zfDcuiET/ We recently talked with our Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer, Kim Salem-Jackson, who helped create the FlexBase program: How was she involved in taking the feedback from employees about flexible working and creating this program? 💭 "After many conversations and listening sessions with our global Marketing colleagues, it was no surprise to see that there is no one size fits all approach to the ways that individuals prefer to work. FlexBase allows Akamai to meet our employees where they are and ensure that our teams have the flexibility to work in the manner that empowers them to be their best. " 🧡 If you agree that flexibility is important to employees, give this post much love!

"When we built Web Security Analytics, what started as a fun idea between my colleagues and I, ended up becoming a reality – a feature that colors the chart in the pride colors. While I don’t use this mode regularly, it is so cool to show off from time to time." - Ori, Senior Product Manager at Akamai. Now when our customers log in to our tool, they can choose to have a Web Security Analytics Pride Month Mode, which changes the graphs into LGBTQIA+ colors. 🤩

My name is Graciela Mora, I have been working at Akamai for 4 years, and currently, I'm a Technical Project Manager based in 📍Costa Rica! I started off studying Industrial Engineering in 2016, but thanks to a Programming class, I realized that just wasnt for me. So I went on to learn about Systems Engineering. I was accepted into the Technical Academy at Akamai initially and then went on to become a Security Consultant after graduation. Last year, I decided to make a career change and become a Technical Project Manager. Looking back, the advice I would give to myself is to 'Be patient with yourself'! You won’t nail everything on your first try, if you fail, the worst thing you can do is laugh at yourself. Keep growing and never settle for less for what you dream of. #WeAreAkamai #AkamaiCostaRica #LifeAtAkamai #AkamaiAroundTheWorld

Meet Hadar 👋 A Senior Software Engineer, based in📍 Tel Aviv for #AkamaiIsrael. We asked Hadar to share more about what brought her to Akamai and her experience with us. "Something just felt right about Akamai. It had a warm, family feeling on top of the technology, products and exciting job description – everything about it was appealing. I always feel like I have voice here and that I’m being heard, from conversations on products design, roadmaps, to the technologies we use. We are all involved in making decisions, even when we moved to our new offices, we had a say in how it looked. Akamai is highly generous towards their employees, in regards to work/life balance – like with the wellness days, we get 6 of those a year when the entire branch is closed and it helps all of us to check out and relax." #WeAreAkamai #AkamaiAroundTheWorld #WomenInSTEM #LifeAtAkamai

Meet Tommy, a Principal Technical Program Manager 👋 We asked him to share more about his experience entering the technology industry: "I retired from the Air Force in 2012 after 20 years of service. After working in their Supply Chain IT PMO early in my career, I was asked to come back and consult on various projects from building business cases, conducting requirements workshops to testing software. I then went on to earn my Project Management Professional designation and accepted a PM position. My proudest accomplishment was leading the modernization of the 55+ year old mainframe system that I first used in 1992 as a young Airman. We saved the Air Force $25M in annual infrastructure costs! Over the course of the next few years, I have led supply chain modernizations, built data centers, launched a Robotics Fulfillment Center and then recently became a Technical Program Manager."

Akamai is introducing Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) to further support the wellbeing of our employees. Let's meet Deb, Senior Director of HR, in Asia Pacific Japan and India, to tell us more: "Our Wellness programs are aimed at assisting employees on keeping healthy in many areas of our lives and MHFA is another part of this puzzle. It teaches ways to look for signs where someone may be experiencing issues with their mental health and what to do to assist them. This is a program goes across all industries and roles and will also be helpful in peoples day to day lives outside Akamai. The MHFA program provides a simple process to do this effectively." The training will prepare first aiders to use a five-step action plan to provide MHFA, a group will be trained to act as the first aiders for the EMEA region.

Meet Mujtaba 👋 a Software Engineer based in 📍 Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We caught up with him to learn more about his experience and what made him join Akamai: "In 2021, I joined for two internships in the summer and fall. This gave me the opportunity to work with an amazing team and understand the company's vision. This spring, I joined Akamai full time as a Software Engineer - II. From my degree, Cybersecurity, Distributed Systems & Networking were always some of my key interests. With Akamai as a market leader in CDNs, Security, and the world's Largest Distributed System – they were always one of my top companies I aspired to work for. Plus Akamai's commitment to work toward a zero carbon Internet & protecting life online by helping billions of people live, work, and play safe has always fascinated me."
