Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Review from Sales Dept
Review from Sales Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Great coaches and managers, always willing to provide expertise.
Review from Sales Dept
Leaders are working with sleeves rolled up together with the team. Providing a safe environment to the team members to work independently and creatively. Giving appropriate guidances when the team needed them.
Review from Sales Dept
Ridiculously overburdened with way too many reports. There is not even a pretense that executives are paying attention. Total chaos.
Review from Sales Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
There is very little leading from the leadership team. Corporate strategy and mission do not translate in a concrete way to work tasks. Honest appraisal is lacking, all communications from leadership are relentlessly optimistic. Nothing ever goes wrong per those at the top.
Review from Sales Dept
Think something else but money
Review from Sales Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Commissions. Base and benefits can be perhaps reconsidered given the rise of commodities and overall macro trends

wellness days, good salary, flexibility and remote option

Professional, Intelligence, creative, helpful and cheerful
Review from Sales Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Akamai is a very competitive environment. Most coworkers are insecure in their positions and relentless seek to undermine colleagues.
Review from Sales Dept
Show some interest on what they are doing
Review from Sales Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Accepting we are human and can make mistakes. Helping each others when we needed the most
Review from Sales Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
There is no communication or leadership. Plans are not communicated. There is zero opportunity to work with colleagues on something that is not directly billable to a customer. No team collaboration or group learning.
Review from Sales Dept
For remote workers, the draconian travel policy. The company is concentrated in Cambridge, MA, but if you are remote, you are never allowed to travel there, ever, per the travel policy.
Review from Sales Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
Quite fair and I am provided with sufficient feedback on the spot
Review from Sales Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Should have made by professionals
Review from Sales Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Technologies, co-workers, helping customers to solve their biz problem, delivering our commitment to customers and staffs
Review from Sales Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Akamai is still leveraging its original idea from two decades ago. It is becoming commoditized and Akamai has no ability to innovate or create new products.
Review from Sales Dept
Can't. The company should go a deep reorganisation process
Review from Sales Dept
There is no innovation, in general it is poorly managed, and there is no responsibility or accountability for overall strategy across verticals. Improvement would be greater investment in original development, more and more empowered managers, and an office focused on cross-company strategy.
