Life at Akamai
Life at Akamai
Work-life balance is the main pro. Trust-based attendance (no hard/soft punching) and also the ability to take half a day of WFH per week with valid reasons are provided. Senior management is very reasonable and helps in every way.
Benefits include a joining bonus, transport facility, RSUs, decent health insurance, LTA, etc., at par with other companies.
Food at the cafeteria is average, i.e., not worth the lunch deduction they do. Otherwise, Akamai excels in all other aspects.
