I had a phone call with HR and then a zoom interview where i was asked to describe one of my projects, and then implement some well-known algorithms in python
Implement smart pointers in C++ within a C++ development editor in front of the interviewer. Initially explain the difference between unique pointer, shared pointer and weak pointer. Explain your code and make sure the logic is right and compiles.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai (Boston, MA)
Interview
I applied to their role on their website and a recruiter reached out to me to schedule interviews with the hiring manager and other members of the team. The interview process was drastically shortened for me because the hiring team wanted to fill the position very quickly, So the entire interview loop lasted only a week and a half.
the interviews consisted of a behavioral with the hiring manager and a hackerrank technical with a engineering team member.
