I applied online. I interviewed at Akamai (Boston, MA) in Mar 2019
Interview
Applied online- reached out to by an HR person, interviewed first round and said she would get back to me next week then just never heard back.... until a year later when the exact same recruiter reached out to me asking if I was still available after the job was put on hold.
Then she ghosted me again after I gave my availability.
Hopefully they at least treat their employees with respect and professionalism.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai (Bengaluru) in Apr 2016
Interview
Process was quiet easy as people in the company was dubious about there offerings . Random rounds were conducted . In first round some random Manager came and asked some technical stuffs which was quiet easy . In Second round some real scenarios and use cases were discussed . In third Director and hiring Manager asked some basic stuffs and current experience with some basics experience about Agile Methodology . In HR round I have been told that everything is positive and they will let me know the result . After waiting me to wait for two months I have been told position went on hold due to some approvals . It is waste of time going for this company as they do not have clearity to standardize the process .

Question 1
Agile Methodologies ( If you are aware of it , you can fool anyone in this company as they lack experience in this ).
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai (Bengaluru) in Oct 2013
Interview
Very lengthy and strenuous interview process. Had 7 rounds of interview wick took almost 8 weeks time - 1 telephonic and 3 tones had to go their Office since I'm From Bangalore. Excel Test, case study presentation rounds. I had performed all the rounds well and received positive feedback from everybody. They even asked me to send my payslips and other documents. But dint get back to me later. When I called up after weeks, they said I ve not got selected. It was so surprising for me. They said I'm a bit soft spoken for the role. I found it as a lame reason to be told after 7 rounds and 2 months of waiting. . I also suspect internal politics and the interview process as an eye wash.
