Pros
Most people in the company, especially in engineering, are excellent at what they do. They are smart and intelligent and it is hard to find mediocrity. I was with the company for more than 6 years working with engineering, support and services and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Cons
In recent years there has been hiring from outside the company for several positions in services at manager/director levels. The passion is lacking in teams led by those people and it is "just a job". Not bad if you like routine work, but it is very frustrating if you are a talented innovator because your voice is not heard outside the team.
Advice to Senior Management
Reinvigorate the spirit of Akamai and make it entrepreneurial and innovative again. There has'nt been a substantial innovation coming out of the company for a long time. It has mostly been old wine in a new bottle with the latest service offerings.
