Pros

The ability to make a significant contribution. Good work-life balance. Paid time off. Not much red tape or bureaucracy. A small place where everybody knows everybody, though that's changing.

Cons

Overall technical leadership in Bangalore is a little lacking.

Compensation increases might not be significant.

Newer hires are not of the same quality as the older ones.

Advice to Management

Be extremely careful with the people you hire. Lately, some people have been hired who have been acting so dumb that I wonder who hired them. Hire people who bring strong, proven technical and product leadership to Akamai, even if you need to pay them more.
