Akamai

Interview experience for Akamai SDE 2 position involving two rounds of technical interviews with coding problems and project discussion.

I interviewed for a Staff Software Engineer position at Akamai, where I successfully solved one DSA problem and explained the approach for another. Despite positive feedback, I was ultimately ghosted and received a rejection.

I interviewed with Akamai for a Software Engineer II role. I successfully cleared the initial technical round, which included a coding problem and conceptual questions on networking, security, and databases, but the position was unfortunately filled due to a staffing shortage, leading to a "Silver medalist" status.

I applied directly for an SDE2 role at Akamai and secured a remote interview. During the technical round, I faced two DSA problems, one of which was 'next greatest number', an easy SQL question, and resume-based discussions. I was ultimately rejected, partly due to a laptop issue occurring during the interview.

I had an online coding round for a Senior Software Engineer role at Akamai, which primarily tested my Data Structures and Algorithms skills with a specific problem on minimum chunks required.
