Pros

Akamai is one of the best companies when it comes to work-life balance. The perks are also good. The Bangalore office has a lot of amenities like cab, free meals, etc. As the internet will grow forever, Akamai will continue to thrive in the industry.

Cons

The tech stack is a little outdated. Most of the UI applications are still running on Angular.js. They only think of upgrading if the support for a framework is stopped.

Management takes a lot of time to come up with a roadmap. Sometimes projects are scrapped mid-implementation, which feels demotivating.

Compensation is not up to market standards. It is 40% of the current trend for each title.

Advice to Management

Compensation needs to be matched according to market standards.

Management needs to be proactive in taking decisions.

The tech stack needs to be regularly evaluated and updated to match market standards.
