Akamai Technologies Work Experiences
- 3.0The codebase was a train wreckSoftware Engineer I • Former EmployeeCambridge, Massachusetts, United StatesMarch 8, 2016Pros: Good benefits if you want to be comfortable.Cons: Their Objective-C code looks like it could have been used as an example of bad code in the book "Clean Code." I saw many classes with more than thousands of lines. One class was approaching 4000 lines. I saw several classes in one file. It was a waste of time to read, debug, understand, or refactor.
- 1.0Blocking Progress, Layoffs LoomSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeCambridge, Massachusetts, United StatesAugust 4, 2021Pros: Akamai is supposedly the leader in CDN tech.Cons: CDN tech based on physical servers and not virtual machines. A toxic environment where your code and your progress is blocked every day. And then one day your manager will lay you off because of costs.
- 5.0Akamai is a great place to work!Software Engineer Intern • Current EmployeeCambridge, Massachusetts, United StatesOctober 23, 2013Pros: My coworkers treat each other like family. They make sure I feel like I'm a valued member of the team. My work is appreciated. Tom Leighton <3Cons: Most of my coworkers are much older than me. Akamai does not have many female executives. The culture is a bit more professional than I'd like.
