Process was very painful. This was via an internal recruiter who seemed to have no idea on the potion I was applying for as the package details seemed to change daily.
It took up to a week to get a response from emails I sent causing the process to be very lengthy. I was close to having my first phone interview when the recruiter went on holiday, so I withdraw my application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The internal recruiter had a hard time responding to my questions in a timely manner and understanding the position I was applying for.
3 rounds. 1st round the non technical, get to know you. 2nd round extremely technical. 3rd round provide presentation on how HTTP3 is better than HTTP 2. Panel will judge and evaluate your performance
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai (London, England) in Feb 2023
Interview
3 stage interview over 4 weeks. 1st was a discussion with the hiring manager. 2nd was a technical discussion with a senior member of the team. 3rd stage was a presentation for a panel selected from the team. I found the presentation part very stressful & difficult to prepare. In hindsight, I would've spent longer going through technical documentation to learn Akamai products for questioning. Having experience working with Akamai products is definitely a bonus for interview. I would've also have asked for a review or additional input from team during preparation. There is an extensive onboarding process from what I understand, but a few comments made about "baptism of fire" which didn't sound very supportive!

Tell us about a time when something went poorly/wrong. Networking questions - what is DNS, what is caching, how do CDNs work, describing Akamai products. What technologies are you interested in. What is your experience of managing projects & other internal people.

30-minute HR discussion then a one-hour Interview with the recruiting manager both were very pleasant even if I got feedback only after 2 months and asked multiple times
