I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai
Interview
Pretty standard system. I applied through a recruiter, had a phone interview maybe two weeks later, an on-site interview two weeks after that, and was offered the position that same week. On-site, I interviewed with two people (separately), the person in charge of the team I'd be joining and another who headed a sister team.

Question 1
The questions were very directly tied to the specifics of the position. It was a web dev job, so there were lots of design questions about my strongest framework, and some basics about net technology (HTTPS, etc). They also asked me to walk them through one of my previous projects, justify why I had made certain design choices, and talk them through how certain functionalities were coded. There were occasional questions about how I would change certain features if they needed to accomplish an additional task, though that just felt like another way to test my knowledge of the framework.
If your resume relies on past projects more than past employment, it's a good idea to bring in something that illustrates what you've accomplished in a recent project (source code, web/dev version of the project, a powerpoint or .pdf showing core functionalities, whatever). I had something like that, and it was extremely useful; both interviewers wanted to look through it. I got the feeling the interview would have been much more challenging if I didn't have a way to concretely demonstrate my abilities.
The interview process involves submitting an application, initial screening, an interview to assess skills and culture fit, completing any required assessments, and potentially a second interview. Finally, an offer or rejection is made.
Very good, everyone was kind and genuinely interested in getting to know me and in responding my questions. The interview process was very smooth. The interviewers were very positive and tried to answer all of my questions to give me a good overview of the company. the questions were role-specific and also there was a lot of questions about me and my interests.
Internship interview consisted of initial phone screen with recruiter and hiring manager, followed by a series of 3, 30 min interviews with other members of the department and a final interview with the hiring manager.
