      Application

      Interview

      I applied online and after a week I got a call from HR. There were three interviews, first with HR, second with HM, and final one onsite.

The second interview with HM asked me regular question like introduce your self, why are you interested in this position, what you know about us, and tricky ones like something that disliked you in your last job, teamwork issues. The final interview was mostly technical, it was based on layer seven protocols, deep understanding how HTTP and DNS works, some Linux questions, linux commands, how Internet works, how CDN works.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai in Feb 2025

      Interview

      I attended an onsite interview where it consist of two rounds, both the senior team and the hiring manager. The senior team members were friendly and welcoming, but the hiring manager was somewhat rude. He repeatedly interrupted the interview by turning off his camera and microphone while interviewing and to take other calls. Following the interview, HR reached out several times, but instead of a formal offer, I was only given a vague response about the possibility of an offer.

      Question 1

      What are the types of networks and network topology?
