      Engagement Manager Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai (London, England) in Feb 2023

      Interview

      3 stage interview over 4 weeks. 1st was a discussion with the hiring manager. 2nd was a technical discussion with a senior member of the team. 3rd stage was a presentation for a panel selected from the team. I found the presentation part very stressful & difficult to prepare. In hindsight, I would've spent longer going through technical documentation to learn Akamai products for questioning. Having experience working with Akamai products is definitely a bonus for interview. I would've also have asked for a review or additional input from team during preparation. There is an extensive onboarding process from what I understand, but a few comments made about "baptism of fire" which didn't sound very supportive!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell us about a time when something went poorly/wrong. Networking questions - what is DNS, what is caching, how do CDNs work, describing Akamai products. What technologies are you interested in. What is your experience of managing projects & other internal people.
