Pros: Looks good on a CV with the tag of Akamai. You learn a lot. Good client experience.

Cons: I was asked to move to London even though it was a remote job. It takes me 1 hour to reach the office from where I live, and the outskirts of London take 2 hours of travel. This request doesn't make sense!
