CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Akamai
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the intelligent edge platform
for securing and delivering digital experiences, proudly announces
that it has been named as one
of Washingtonian's 50 Great Places to Work.
Selected companies appear in the May issue of the magazine which
are for sale on area newsstands starting today.
This year's 50 winning workplaces were chosen on the
basis of such measures as: generous pay and benefits, interesting
and meaningful work, great work/life balance, opportunities to
learn and grow, commitment to charity and community, and the
recognition and respect given to employees. Winners were
chosen after editors reviewed nearly 200 companies and more than
7,500 employee surveys. The final determinations relied heavily on
the scores given by a company's employees.
"Creating a space where employees can collaborate, innovate and
succeed is an essential tenet of Akamai's commitment to ensuring a
great place to work," said James
Gemmell, executive vice president and chief human resources
officer. "At Akamai, we are committed to ensuring that our
employees are able to reach their full potential in a welcoming,
inclusive environment where they are treated with dignity and
respect."
Akamai's Reston, Virginia space
opened in 2003 and has 160 employees. The Washington D.C. and northern Virginia team supports commercial
companies, government and military customers using innovative
approaches to solve their digital challenges. Akamai's globally
distributed intelligent edge platform makes them faster, smarter,
and seamless while securing content and users from a growing set of
cyber security threats. Its Zero Trust Security approach protects
an enterprise's attack surface and network and security
architectures to meet the changing needs of a digitally evolving

"Our team designs, develops, implements, operates and otherwise

challenges," said Danielle
Mouritzen, senior director, government services and
Reston site lead. "We have an
innovative and collaborative culture with an emphasis on personal
health and balance. On any given day you can find such fun events
like Waffle Day and Pi Day, friendly competition via golf
tournaments and office brackets, or employee resource group get
togethers that promote a diverse work environment. And we

and inspiring STEM education through our Bring Your Kids to Work
Day."
