      Test Automation Interview

      Jan 29, 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cambridge, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Akamai (Cambridge, MA) in Jan 2012

      Interview

      The company has bunch of asinine clueless recruiters that act like they can screen talented engineers. Let me tell you the ignorant recruiters out there. Only good engineers can screen good engineers. Bean counters should stick with bean counting. The skill of quickly answering an asinine syntax question regarding an asinine programing language like C++ is not an engineering skill. This is a bean counting skill. These companies are producing massive amounts of spaghetti code until they get crushed by the sheer weight of their stupidity. I have a feeling this Titanic will get a deep gash in the near future. More than 70,000 servers deployed. Are you kidding me? Time to short this pig.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      A bean counter was gaging my engineering skills by asking dumb questions.

      Question 2

      When did a bean counter think what is the DNA of a talented software engineer?
