Conseils à la direction

Rien de particulier. Pas de commentaire à cet endroit.

Avantages

Leader in market share and technology on its core business (CDN) and fast growing security yet getting close a billion USD. Great to work with world class experts in WebPerf and IT Security. The unique capacities of the Akamai Edge platform is a differentiator. International company

Inconvénients

Matrix organisation and its consequences on decision taking sometimes.

Avantages

Great products Strong platform Reliable Great service

Inconvénients

Too expensive Lack of Sales agility Not a good strategy for Security Not channel friendly

Avantages

Working at Akamai is a great adventure. This company is full of smart and nice people, which makes me happy to go to work every morning. The solutions are complex and very interesting.

Inconvénients

Th company is having more and more strata...

Avantages

In the right team, ideas spread and get realized Performance gets rewarded (mostly via benefits) Akamai's social engagement is outstanding Persistent market leader for a long time (if you count that as a 'pro') A fast pace of consumer technology adaptation

Inconvénients

Individual performer culture (rather than teams) The trend to acquire innovation rather than inventing/developing Very different quality of "middle management" education and leadership skills Poor culture of relationship-building in remotely cooperating teams No (effective) career management, difficult to change job within the company

Conseils à la direction

If you hire smart people, listen to them and motivate them - don't just delegate tasks top-down. This is what made Akamai (and any other tech giant) great in the first place. But that spirit has gone.

Avantages

Laidback work culture, free to explore things on your own. String computer science and networking fundamentals.

Inconvénients

Don't expect innovation to come top down. Most innovations within the company has been bottom up, so being a self starter is really important. However, this is really starting to hurt the company at the moment.

Conseils à la direction

Be more innovative and encourage employees to be at the cutting edge more rather than relishing in past technologies

Avantages

Internal job transfer in place

Inconvénients

Redundancy will be there if you stick to one team

Conseils à la direction

Hire the best
