Interview
I never attended such kind of interview. The Requirement for the role they shared is different interviewer questions are different. Requirement is for Python, Rest API testing, Jenkins, Git. Interviewer not even asked one question from the above. I gave my full dedication to this interview, During my own brother marriage, I skipped marriage and I am attending interview, and I received such kind of worst interview process. I never expect this from AKAMAI. Everyone will suggest to go through the full JD, but I dont know why the interviewer doesn't know about this. First Interviewer should go through the full JD before taken the interview. There are few employees, who just taking the interview for formality without knowing the effort given and value of the job.

I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai in May 2021
Interview
Very long, very unprofessional, a bit humiliating. Felt patronized. The people were not able to provide explanation during the technical interview although claimed that they were the authors of the task. While solving the task, they interrupted me constantly with annoying remarks and forgot to mute their mics so had to hear their wining children, spouses talking or ringing phones, instead of muting themselves for the time of this part of the interview.
