Akamai Technologies Work Experiences
- 1.0Doesn't care about employeesSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeCambridge, Massachusetts, United StatesApril 13, 2014Pros: Good location, nice benefits, good pay.Cons: Management doesn't care and doesn't listen. There is verbal abuse that happens, but no one is willing to speak out because of a culture of fear that has crept in. I left because, as a software engineer from MIT, I had big ideas and wanted to go somewhere I thought I could make a big impact. Akamai turned out to not be much like they said it would when they aggressively recruited me.
