Pros: Amazing team, nice working environment.

Cons: Less communication from HR regarding hiring decision.

Pros: I joined Akamai straight out of college, in their streaming team. My interests are networks and systems, and at Akamai, I got to work on streaming protocols and systems. Akamai is a brilliant company technologically, and therefore, a heaven for those who love technology, networks in particular. One of the things that I appreciate as a developer here is the very small amount of time it takes for code to hit production. The fact that my code is sitting in production and impacting people is gratifying.

Cons: Akamai systems are interdependent. Therefore, if one really wants to start making technical contributions, it involves understanding a lot of components. I remember when I started; I took at least 2 months to get the hang of a lot of things.

Pros: The work culture is great.

Cons: Nothing specific. Maybe they should start offering free lunches. [Just saying]
