Candidate-reported interview process
The interview process started with a question about my previous projects. Then, I had a take-home assignment where I analyzed web traffic, followed by an interview to discuss my work on that assignment. The whole process, including the home assignment, wasn't overly lengthy.
The Akamai interview involved three parts: first, a chat with HR, then a technical test, and finally a last meeting. It was all organized well and worked good. I liked it overall and now think Akamai is a pretty good company.
The interview had 4 rounds. All were online. First round was a hackerrank test with 30 MCQs in 60 mins, covering networking, Linux, and basic cloud concepts. Then there was a technical interview, a manager interview, and an HR interview.
