Akamai Technologies Work Experiences
- 5.0Great Learning, Some GhostingSoftware Engineer(Internship) • Former EmployeeCambridge, Massachusetts, United StatesNovember 5, 2025Pros: I was assigned a mentor at the beginning of the internship. They helped me learn what I needed to be able to contribute well and assisted in my initial work. Once I was up to speed, I was given a lot of freedom and learned a lot. As an intern, I was directly integrated into the team, which is not usual and has been invaluable in my learning progress.Cons: Some people on the team didn't take me seriously because I was an intern and had a habit of ghosting. Since everyone is online, if you need something from other teams, they might delay your request for a change on their end a lot, delaying your work getting done.
