      Pros

      One of the things I value most about working at Akamai is the combination of professional excellence and a supportive culture. The company provides opportunities to work on challenging, large-scale problems alongside highly skilled colleagues, fostering continuous learning and growth. At the same time, Akamai promotes a healthy work-life balance and maintains a collaborative, respectful environment where people are approachable, supportive, and genuinely enjoyable to work with.

      Cons

      One challenge of working at Akamai is that some processes can be slower than in smaller organizations, as decisions often involve multiple stakeholders and levels of review. While this helps ensure quality and alignment, it can sometimes reduce the pace of execution.
