Pros: Good company, very good company.

Cons: Nothing is there in cons.

Pros: Good work-life balance.

Cons: I could see no cons.

Pros: You'll still find some of the smartest people around you to work with. Great office space, the hardware the office provides, the height-adjustable desks, the super comfortable chairs, the enormous pantries/cafeteria, and the super flexible cab services are all very amazing. If you're in one of the core engineering teams, the work is known to be amazingly cutting-edge. If you are looking for a stable company with average annual bonuses, great work-life balance, and very good benefits, then Akamai is the place to be. But if you're a super ambitious 23-year-old wanting to change the world, in spite of being a rock-star performer, you'd still be in the same bracket as the rest of the non-performing teammates. (That's not a good feeling)

Cons: India GSS management has been quite bad in trying to retain top talent. Every employee is seen as an easily replaceable resource to the team, with focus lost on quality and importance given mostly on making the numbers. Poor quality of new hires, especially the laterals. Redundant managers who serve only as a one-way communication channel from upper management. Erosion of the Akamai culture in the Bangalore office.
