I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai (Bengaluru) in Apr 2013
Interview
The interview process consisted of 2 telephonic and 1 video conference, as I was based of of bangalore, and 3 face to face rounds at their office in Bangalore. The first two rounds were purely technical. In the 3rd video conference round , I was given few business requirements and asked to code over skype. I was then asked to come to there office in Bangalore.
The next round was a techno-functional round with the manager. After which I was interviewed by their director which was mainly on the work that I had done and few puzzles. The last round was the HR round, which was mainly on my work and few very simple questions.
The overall interview process was very impressive. I was impressed by way they facilitated the interviews and the type of questions asked. Most of the questions asked were mainly based on scenarios and not on bookish questions as I have seen in other companies.
