As a part of the New Hire Connect program, Blend@Akamai, our India team recently met new employees who joined in January. 👥 🤝🏻 They met in person for the two-day event, in Akamai's Bangalore office and had a lot of fun networking and getting to know their workplace. It was an excellent opportunity for new hires to meet the leaders and learn more about the Akamai culture. The event would not be possible without our outstanding employees, Nina Ravichander & Vivek Vaman. 💡Thank you for this initiative.
Meet our amazing employees - Diana and Hoscan. 🤝🏻 The day this photo was taken, they worked from our office in Costa Rica, but they don't do it daily. Why? 🖥️ Because of our global flexible work program, FlexBase. Our program gives 95% of our employees a choice for where they want to work. Home, office, or a combination of both.

Today we are celebrating - Women's Equality Day.🌷 It is a special day at Akamai, as we are committed to creating an Inclusive and Diverse environment. 27.3% of our employees are women (and the number is still growing) and women hold over 20% of all leadership positions and technical roles. 👭 We support our women at every level we can. That's why we created: The Women's Forum employee resource group, as a way to create awareness, share professional challenges, advice, best practices, provide education and help women advance their careers within Akamai. On this particular day, we wish all of you - incredible women, to always feel supported, empowered, and fulfilled in your life. 🧡
My name is Jaynti, and I want to share with you my thoughts about Akamai's ReVive program. 💭 Akamai’s ReVive program helps working professionals get back to work after a career break, in my case, an 8 year-long gap. This opportunity has reinstated my confidence and given me a positive outlook. I am thankful to Akamai and the sales team for identifying my strengths to fit the job profile. 🙏🏻 Though it was a completely unknown domain, the team has been motivating and supporting me in all instances. It didn't take me long to realize I’ve joined the right place – one that’s not only inclusive but also provides employees an opportunity to build their skills. I am gratified and lucky to be part of the Standardized Develop team and proud to be employed with Akamai.
As you may already know, we recently launched Flexbase, Akamai's global flexible working program 💻 If you are unfamiliar with FlexBase, please see here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_zfDcuiET/ We recently talked with our Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer, Kim Salem-Jackson, who helped create the FlexBase program: How was she involved in taking the feedback from employees about flexible working and creating this program? 💭 "After many conversations and listening sessions with our global Marketing colleagues, it was no surprise to see that there is no one size fits all approach to the ways that individuals prefer to work. FlexBase allows Akamai to meet our employees where they are and ensure that our teams have the flexibility to work in the manner that empowers them to be their best. " 🧡 If you agree that flexibility is important to employees, give this post much love!
We believe in giving the power of choice. With FlexBase, Akamai's global flexible work program, most employees can choose where they want to work: from home, the office, or a combination of both. Sound interesting? Read more here: http://ow.ly/Fwx350JVAW6
"When we built Web Security Analytics, what started as a fun idea between my colleagues and I, ended up becoming a reality – a feature that colors the chart in the pride colors. While I don’t use this mode regularly, it is so cool to show off from time to time." - Ori, Senior Product Manager at Akamai. Now when our customers log in to our tool, they can choose to have a Web Security Analytics Pride Month Mode, which changes the graphs into LGBTQIA+ colors. 🤩
My name is Graciela Mora, I have been working at Akamai for 4 years, and currently, I'm a Technical Project Manager based in 📍Costa Rica! I started off studying Industrial Engineering in 2016, but thanks to a Programming class, I realized that just wasnt for me. So I went on to learn about Systems Engineering. I was accepted into the Technical Academy at Akamai initially and then went on to become a Security Consultant after graduation. Last year, I decided to make a career change and become a Technical Project Manager. Looking back, the advice I would give to myself is to 'Be patient with yourself'! You won’t nail everything on your first try, if you fail, the worst thing you can do is laugh at yourself. Keep growing and never settle for less for what you dream of. #WeAreAkamai #AkamaiCostaRica #LifeAtAkamai #AkamaiAroundTheWorld
Meet Hadar 👋 A Senior Software Engineer, based in📍 Tel Aviv for #AkamaiIsrael. We asked Hadar to share more about what brought her to Akamai and her experience with us. "Something just felt right about Akamai. It had a warm, family feeling on top of the technology, products and exciting job description – everything about it was appealing. I always feel like I have voice here and that I’m being heard, from conversations on products design, roadmaps, to the technologies we use. We are all involved in making decisions, even when we moved to our new offices, we had a say in how it looked. Akamai is highly generous towards their employees, in regards to work/life balance – like with the wellness days, we get 6 of those a year when the entire branch is closed and it helps all of us to check out and relax." #WeAreAkamai #AkamaiAroundTheWorld #WomenInSTEM #LifeAtAkamai
