I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Akamai (San Mateo, CA) in Aug 2011
Interview
Had one phone interview and then 6-8 1x1 interviews. Technically the questions they asked were mediocre except one interviewer who stood out. Here are some of them I recollect - TCP/IP congestion control and handshake, duplicate a string, how would a c++ compiler behave in a certain scenario, code fibonacci, code if number is prime, how does a shell work.
Besides it was a little difficult communicating with the recruiter who'd go in circles and wouldn't give out a complete picture about the package.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai (Boston, MA)
Interview
I applied to their role on their website and a recruiter reached out to me to schedule interviews with the hiring manager and other members of the team. The interview process was drastically shortened for me because the hiring team wanted to fill the position very quickly, So the entire interview loop lasted only a week and a half.
the interviews consisted of a behavioral with the hiring manager and a hackerrank technical with a engineering team member.
