WFH is a pro. But beware, they might hold it against you later.
Akamai follows a LIFO policy. When you join, you will see many people working here for more than 10 years. It is because they fire new joiners after 1-2 years. They did this before also, fired 400 people and now also they have fired 300 people. NO JOB SECURITY. DONT JOIN

1. The company has very good professional culture. It really cares for employees, and put effort to provide them great working environment. 2. The compensation is almost on par with industry standards of medium scale software company. While it's subjective. I feel it's really doing the justice on this front. 3. You can really enjoy the benefits of work life balance flexible work timing. And company offers full remote work. 4. Management is good and transparent about the company goals and paths. Over all a great company to work for....Read More
1. The company is neither startup nor very aggresive on the growth, Hence you would feel things might be moving bit slowly. Adaption to new tools and technologies might feel slow in this rapidly changing tech ecosystem. 2. You would find yourself complaining if you compare compensation and benefits with that of some "very high" paying startup or big tech.
Work policy: It offers flexible hybrid model called "FlexBase", Where employees can choose their office day from 0 to 5 per week

I felt there is a good work-life balance. You have the freedom to switch to a different project and your manager cannot stop unless it is very critical. In many cases you have the freedom to choose software tools for the kind of work you do. In a few projects of mine, I even had the freedom to choose technology. Depending on the team, you can raise any interpersonal concerns and it will be taken care of maintaining your anonymity. Compensation is also above average market. Fliexibility to work from home whenever convenient....Read More
