I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Akamai (Boston, MA) in May 2021
Interview
5 Interviews (including HR, Hiring Manager, Technical, RSM, Final Presentation) and the process gives enough time to prepare for these rounds. Overall great experience, engaging team leaders and supportive HR.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Akamai (New York, NY) in Jul 2017
Interview
Phone, on-site, and video conference interviews with several management team members. The interview process was very relaxed as-if you're talking to a colleague you havent seen in a while about yourself or their recent job experience.

Question 1
They asked some competency questions regarding general industry topics with correlation to CDN, WAF and other Akamai-related products. The last interview section required the presentation of a related industry topic like HTTP/2, IPv6, DDoS, WAF or Web/Image Optimization.
