Process
These guys don't value people's time.
Had to go through a series of interviews, some that spanned whole afternoons.
But they didn't have the decency to get back to me before a month went by.

Akamai Technologies Work Experiences
4.0
Unclear path for advancement, regular layoffs
Senior QA Engineer • Current Employee
Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
January 21, 2020
Pros: Generous PTO.
Good salary, bonus, and RSU rewards.
Complex systems and real technical challenges.
Cons: Layoffs happen every year now.
Once you hit Senior II, advancement is very difficult. People who get to higher levels tend to hold on for dear life. Because they don't move on, it's harder to get promoted.
The promotion process is unclear and uneven across the organization. Some teams have 30 or 40 percent Principal level titles, which seems really ridiculous.
