Vantaggi
Akima is a company which is exciting to work for because it's extremely nimble. Never a boring or dull moment, and there is seemingly always career/growth opportunities around the corner for those of us who work here. Additionally, for being so large, it feels remarkably small. One example of this is the amount of executive-access available to all levels of employees here. Most of us know the execs straight up through the CEO. Also I have to completely disagree with the person who posted about the "Two Wheels, One Spirit" fundraiser. Not only were they mistaken in the flight details and accommodations of the travelers (a daily journal was sent via email during the trip with photos disproving their description of the travel details), but also the company did a great thing for their shareholders and raised over $100,000 to donate to organizations to help them. This didn't appear to me to be self-serving in any way. I proudly donated to the cause, and would do so again.
Svantaggi
No job is perfect, but I have to say I've been happier in this company than in any of my previous 4 or 5.
