Vantaggi

- Good benefits package (unlimited paid vacation, ESPP, RSUs, 401k, bonus, discounts/perks, etc) - Descent work-life balance (work from home is common) - Nice, modern offices - Access to work on big, global projects for a large, well-known tech company - Startup culture with an all-inclusive, progressive environment

Svantaggi

- Career growth is severely limited - Budget cuts due to slower growth over the past couple of years have limited access to things like attending conferences to learn to skills - "Managers" tend to be the most-tenured employees rather than people who demonstrate effective management skills - New management has taken over Marketing which has resulted in layoffs, people jumping ship, awfully-low morale across the board, "us-and-them" tension between the new Management team and tenured Akamai employees, little transparency, and snap decisions that adversely affect other arms of the department - The company is known for it's smart employees, but not in Marketing. Smart, good employees are leaving because employees who can't perform tend to stick around (some of whom came through acquisitions) - Employee reviews are a joke and not taken seriously at all - Employee promotions are tied to politics—not performance - The onboard training program is a waste of time unless you're in sales, or an engineer
