I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Akamai (Cambridge, MA) in Nov 2019
Interview
The interview process was of three rounds:
1. Recruiter Phone Call:
It was mainly concentrated on my profile review and see if I am a good fit for the job role. . Once I cleared it, the recruiter was quick in setting up a video interview within the date ranges of my choice.
2. Manager Video Interview:
The video round was all about reviewing my technical experience relevant to the job role. The role was primarily based on Java application development. So, I was asked questions about some object-oriented concepts. And then there was an algorithmic problem to solve.
3. On-Site Interview:
Once I cleared the second round, the recruiter was quick and very clear in scheduling the on-site. The on-site was a six-round panel. There were questions about dynamic programming concepts, bread first search, connected components, projects review, SQL queries, query optimization and some behavioural questions.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai (Boston, MA)
Interview
I applied to their role on their website and a recruiter reached out to me to schedule interviews with the hiring manager and other members of the team. The interview process was drastically shortened for me because the hiring team wanted to fill the position very quickly, So the entire interview loop lasted only a week and a half.
the interviews consisted of a behavioral with the hiring manager and a hackerrank technical with a engineering team member.
