Akamai Technologies

This is the first company I have worked at where 'work/life balance' isn't just a slogan. Management really works hard to ensure that employees are supported. They have helped us out with a reimbursement for setting up our home offices, and the new plan for remote work is super flexible!

There are plenty of employee support groups for whatever your interest is; they are very active. The community and environmental engagement programs are top-notch. And did I mention unlimited PTO!?!?

Communication from management is proactive. I love working with the people in my group, and so far I haven't encountered any real jerks in the rest of the company.

The healthcare plan is better than many, though still not really top tier. Price-wise, it is on the high side of the middle range.

Sign-on bonuses and other incentives are paid out as RSUs over time. Some prefer this.

There's a big gap between performance reviews and any pay increases taking effect.

Keep on taking care of the workforce; we are what keeps Akamai running.

Improve the healthcare plan, and maybe offer a few more options.

Continue to look at the long-term goals for the company and don't fall into the trap of just satisfying the 'street' quarter to quarter.
