Pros

Great work like balance - unlimited vacation, flexible schedule and wfh opportunities. Self starter environment. Fun.

Cons

Difficult to move within Akamai - promotions tend to be political but also performance based. At least in Sales, people stick around for a long time, so there is not a lot of growth opportunity.

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.
