I am getting an offer from Akamai. 155k base 15% bonus 35k rsu over 4 years and 12k starting bonus. This is for senior software eng. How does it look? Also want to know how is the situation in Akamai right now. This is for 10 yoe.
The offer is very generous for Akamai standards. Don’t join unless you are passionate about the company. Which BU?
This is the security BU. If you have any information about them can you please share.
Thats the best BU currently. CEO was awarded visionary in security space this month https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/akamais-ceo-dr-tom-leighton-named-visionary-in-security-at-sc-medias-sc-awards-ceremony-2019-03-06 They are fastest growing currently but that may last for 2 years or so. They hire fast and fire fast
12k sign in? And is this senior 2? If just for senior 1, it's very generous
Have a friend who moved to Akamai and loves it. Offer looks in line for them.
Wat level did ur fren move into? And yoe?
35000 RSU or $35K For RSU ?
He would need to be a VP or something to get 35000 units. It's 35k dollars for sure
@akamai what's the TC like for security VP there?
The security BU is the most profitable. They get to work on cool and new tech stacks
They don't work on much of anything. The BU has made beter acquisitions than others. That BU is a total cluster fuck.
I don’t think there is any cool stuff to work on in security bu. Good thing is you will have job security.
Offer looks good. Security BU is really good, rather best in Akamai. I would say RSU could be more , something around 60k. Rest of the offer looks really good.
Looks very good for a senior position in. Boston. Congrats
What location?
Boston
