Was referred by a friend. Initially I was referred for a different profile but then the recruiter recommended my profile for a Solutions Architect role. 1) Got a call from the Recruiter to check if I would be interested, my current CTC and my current profile. 2) Telephonic manager round with the hiring manager again to understand my current profile, check if I am ok to work in Night shift. He asked few basic questions on DNS and HTTP 3) I was then given topics to prepare for presentation round, the topics given to be were related to HTTP, Cookies, Session management, commands, SSL etc. I was given about 2-3 weeks to prepare for the same 4) Presentation round was onsite where a panel for 3 sat for the presentation and cross questions on what I was presenting. 5) After the presentation round I had a Puzzle round where they gave me 5 situations to resolve- This was fun. 6) After this I had a very long discussion with one of the managers where I got a chance to understand more on Akamai, current market position, future growth plans etc. 7) Another short F2F meeting with the hiring manager to check if I had any questions on the profile. 8) After this I had a telephonic HR round where they mainly wanted to know if I would be joining or not if offered a position 9) Finally they offered me a position with a proposed package which I was not happy with. I negotiated and they we agreed upon a certain package after about 2-3 weeks of wait (for approvals) Overall I liked the interview process it was quick and their approach is very logical.
