A great place to work
A great place to work
- Nice, talented, and friendly people.
- Work-life balance.
- Great pay (of course, lower than FAANG, but still great considering the workload).
- Growth opportunity is huge in the Compute division (CTG).
- Flexible remote work policy.
- Heavy tech debt in many teams. Something is really old, even older than me.
- Benefits are not as great as other tech giants.
- Facing serious competition from Cloudflare and Fastly.
-
Opening Akamai services to the public and community developers by allowing self-service (self-signup). Cloudflare and Fastly did this and gained lots of innovation ideas from the community by doing this.
-
Migrating older stuff ASAP before they become serious problems. We always pay our financial debt but also need to pay tech debt.
-
Training our engineering staff to adopt latest software dev concepts/culture like CI/CD, Cloud Native, and Containers/K8s.
