I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai (Cambridge, MA) in Jan 2023
Interview
The process was a bit drawn out, but understandable. The recruiter and hiring manager both shared that there were over 300 applicants, definitely a tough task to move that needle. The steps I went through were an HR Screen, Interview with the hiring manager and finally a small panel.
