Remote working
There’s zero job security. They kept saying “Best time to be at Akamai” during the layoffs, assured and re-assured employees that there will be no layoffs, decreased the bonus amount saying that it’s a means to ensure jobs are safe and then Wham! One fine day, on a Webex call from the manager, you get to know that you have lost yourjob. Perfect timing because stocks were not vested, and new hike salary was amiss. If this is not fraudulent, cheater-like behavior, I don’t know what is. They are putting effort in Linode now, which is going to be a big flop. Strongly recommend you don’t join this workplace, because you will not feel welcomed here - there are old folks who are stuck for decades and the axe is always on the new comers. There’s not much growth in terms of learning either. They follow legacy method of working and are extremely resistant to change. The future jobs that they will generate are also not secure because the leadership mentioned in the townhall “layoffs might happen again if the need arises”....Read More

Akamai is one of the best company to work at. There is so much to learn work explore and grow. One of the best things is the culture. Sometimes i feel its so chill that one hosuld join akamai at their career end when they want to settle.
sometimes i feel work pace is slow and and its too much chill that you get lazy, so its somehow a negative point for poeple like me who dont work on their own or until its a pressure.

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
They have a informal period of layoffs that take place every 4-5 years or so. Hence, employees will randomly be laid off.
