Working through Akraya for a Google client has been a solid learning experience. The work environment is professional, processes are well-defined, and you get exposure to high-quality engineering standards and tools. Collaboration with talented teams and access to structured workflows helps in building strong domain knowledge. Work-life balance is good, and expectations are clear.
Cons
As with most vendor roles, there can be some limitations in terms of internal mobility and access to certain programs. Occasionally, coordination between vendor and client teams can take time, but it’s generally manageable.

JP who took accountability for miscommunication and the incorrect information being provided during my onboarding.
Cons
A lot of miscommunication especially within the several people I was dealing with. If it wasn't for JP who took full accountability during the onboarding and communication. I dont think I would have decided to accept the contract.
