Pros

Akamai is supposedly the leader in CDN tech.

Cons

CDN tech based on physical servers and not virtual machines.

A toxic environment where your code and your progress is blocked every day. And then one day your manager will lay you off because of costs.

Advice to Management

Management at Akamai is highly qualified. Graduates of MIT or other Ivy League Universities, they don't need any advice.
