Akamai Technologies Senior Software Engineer Reviews

Likes

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

Dislikes

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.

Dislikes

Very poor experience working with the company. Managers are like Hitler, only giving orders to complete some task by some date they decide on their own. No leadership or motivation provided, only telling about our job responsibilities. Most old people are not helpful to new joiners, playing tricks to show their knowledge only during standups and don't respond when you message them 1-1. They instead want new people to give KT to whole team. HR people are very bad, full of false promises, if whatever you agree is not in writing then you will get cheated in the end. I have no doubt that most of the online reviews about company 4* ratings are fake....Read More
