Akamai Software Developer Intern interview questions

It was an on-campus drive that started with a short Pre-Placement Talk (PPT), followed by an Online Assessment. The assessment consisted of MCQs from domains such as Machine Learning, Operating Systems, Computer Networks, and Database Management Systems. In addition, there was an Object-Oriented Programming design question that involved implementing addition of two vectors, along with two SQL queries. The shortlist for interviews was released on the same day, and I was selected for the interview round which took place the next day. Candidates were divided into three lists, and each list of students were asked to prepare specific topics beforehand. The topics assigned to me included SQL, Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD), Data Structures and Algorithms, and concepts from Linux, Docker, DevOps, and Jenkins. The interviewer was friendly and easy-going. The interview covered questions from multiple areas including DSA, projects, OOP concepts, Linux commands, Docker basics, and Computer Networks fundamentals. Overall, the interview was relatively short, possibly because I was the last candidate scheduled for that panel.
