Pros

Unlike many companies that claim "possibilities of career development" but you end up stuck to a chair, Akamai really gives chances to develop your "career path". There is a possibility of changing position and/or team within the company if you're interested in going forward with what you do. Team managers are open to talk about it, and so on. Sure, you must be a good employee to get a chance.

AFAIK, salary in Krakow is quite competitive. The office is generally nice, but be prepared for open spaces. Even though Akamai is an international corporation, employees are not bothered with too many procedures and bureaucracy. However, this strongly depends on the division an employee works in.

There is a nice atmosphere among people, and what's important, good and mostly friendly relationships with managers.

Cons

It is still a corporation, not a small company, so there are some procedures and some stiffness. Not everything is a matter of talking to somebody. Some things just cannot be changed. Salary ranges are defined for a position, so be aware of what position you are applying for.

It's hard to park a car around the Krakow office.
