Pros

I love working at Akamai. The technology is unparalleled and the people are exceedingly smart and competent.

Cons

Management doesn't seem to care to much about attrition in the Services Delivery organization. Your salary will be much higher coming in from outside of Akamai than if you are promoted from within Akamai. Engineering is another ball of wax. Engineers are treated generally better than Professional Services.

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.
