Akamai Technologies

Exciting work environment: energetic people, modern, comfortable workplace, and excellent support for engineers' needs.

There were very few co-workers at my level (individual contributor) who were in my age range. I felt out of place due to my age (I was 57 when I left employment at Akamai). Often I felt ignored by co-workers (not by managers).

During social events, it was extremely difficult for me to be accepted into conversations, much more so at Akamai than at other positions I've held.

Though most people would rate Akamai 5 stars for diversity and inclusion, I give them only 2 stars because I felt the culture is not accepting of older workers. This is not something most people think of when they think of "diversity and inclusion", but as you become an older worker in the tech industry, you realize these concepts should definitely encompass age diversity as well as race, religion, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
