Akana is the outcome of a merger between two professional services firms – Cooper Zietz Engineers and Cascade Design Professionals – both Native American owned, both leaders in their field. The merger cemented a long-term business relationship, expanded the range of our individual service capabilities, and created opportunities to enter new markets. As one entity, Akana can now serve clients through every stage of a project, from planning through design, construction and commissioning.

review and is evolving.
Pros: The biggest plus here is the work flexibility; Akana really supports remote work and hybrid setups, which is great for maintaining work-life balance. The team I worked with in the Portland office was collaborative and skilled. They often encouraged professional development and had interesting projects in the API management and cloud space.
Cons: While generally positive, sometimes project demands could lead to crunch times, and communication between different departments could occasionally be a bit slow. The pace can feel fast-paced on certain initiatives, which might not suit everyone. It's good to be aware of these potential fluctuations.
Advice to Management: Continue fostering the strong team collaboration and work flexibility. Consider clearer project scope management to mitigate occasional crunch periods and improve inter-departmental communication flow for smoother operations.
