Akamai Technologies

Good benefits, such as a 401k match and insurance. Overall, the company and the culture are great. However, a lot depends on the manager you have. If you are on good terms, it will be good for you; otherwise, be ready to face the wrath.

My manager, for instance, prohibited work from home as an option and expected everyone to work more than 8 hours a day, with 8 hours being the time to be present in the office.

For example, you were looked down upon if you took your job as a 9-to-5 job, and your job was considered below satisfaction if you worked your 40 hours.

I had an on-call aspect for which we were not compensated but were expected to wake up during the nights and work on weekends to fix issues. Everyone in my team is overworked, but Akamai doesn't have the budget to hire more.

If you are a new hire, especially out of college, Akamai doesn't have a proper training program, and you are expected to pick things up as you go instead of having proper training first (although I am sure most companies don't).

If you can't trust your employees with working remotely, why hire them in the first place? I understand money is tight, but overworking your employees is not a solution.
