      Software Engineering Intern Interview

      18 July 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bengaluru
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Akamai (Bengaluru) in May 2024

      Interview

      First round was online test, it did not contain DSA related questions. Second round was technical round, I was asked to code a deletion of node in SLL, then going further, OS and CN questions were asked in easy to medium level, more of CN questions. Next round was manager round, for half an hour, in which they can question about anything in your resume and you should know every bit about all the projects mentioned in the resume, since one of my project was based on SQL database, I was questioned on how to implement payment transactions as a part of db operations, apart from resume they asked one other question - how do I come up with a sudoku solver, I answered telling we can use graph coloring in such and such way, but I wasn't very sure of the full implementation. I was asked if I prefer developer or testing role, I stated my preference to be developer role since it was an internship. I heard two days later through mail that I was not selected for HR round, the offer was bagged by one candidate

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      In technical round they asked to write a code to delete a node from a linked list, several CN questions were asked, several OS questions were asked, be thorough with basics, CN questions were, TCP vs UDP difference, HTTP vs HTTPS difference, Types of network devices(hub, switch, router and their differences), OS concepts was about uses of OS, multiprocessing how it happens, and some questions in similar lines
