Akamai cares about it's people, has generous benefits and invests heavily in training it's people in Akamai as well as industry technologies. Lots of long timers in Akamai which is a testament to the culture of the company.
Cons
Akamai finds itself at crossroads: they are trying to have huge growth while maintaining very high margins which is not an easy act. 2024 could be a do-or-die year. If Akamai does well, it could be a great year or else substantial people could lose their jobs.
