When asked "what are some of the best aspects of working at Akamai", Interns from past years have responded:

"Working around some of the smartest people in the industry and learning more about the Internet and what drives it. I don't think I would have had better exposure anywhere else."

"Getting to work for a world class company, a lot of freedom in projects, great pay, hanging out with smart people; especially fellow students. "

"I've really enjoyed the people I work with. The atmosphere has been surprisingly academic for a company - people read textbooks for fun and discuss polynomial interpolation by the water cooler."

"I was very intrigued by the competitiveness of the industry and the complexity of the products that Akamai has to offer."

"Akamai still has a very strong entrepreneurial culture that seems to value all contributions. In addition, the caliber of people here is very high, especially in the technical sense."

"The best aspect of working here was my work. While the people were amazing, the material was even better. I am glad I got to play around with some of this stuff and actually make a cool contribution to the company."
