Why you want to work there
IT hiring practices at Akamai, a Cambridge, Mass., cloud computing services and content delivery network (CDN) provider, favor candidates who want to work with the latest technologies and are willing to take risks. Bike racks, Ping-Pong tables, arcade games, on-site fitness centers, company-only screenings of pre-premiere movies and unlimited vacation days up the happiness quotient. And an IT-specific awards program recognizes individuals and teams who have gone beyond the call of duty.
