I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai in Mar 2012
Interview
1. HR phone interview
2. Hiring Manager phone interview
3. On-site 1:1 interviews with 3 managers
4. On-site 1:1 interviews with 2 executives
HR contact was professional and helpful, and always responded my e-mails on time. People were nice and smart, and I felt that I could fit in easily.
