I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Akamai in Oct 2025
Interview
Process started promising, got an interview invitation with HR after a few days of applying, then continued with a technical round with the hiring manager. Then a technical assignment and a review with the hiring manager. After that I got ignored for about 6 weeks until I sent a message saying I was withdrawing my candidacy I got a message back saying they went with an internal candidate.
Either way, another company not worth applying to.
