Summary

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.

Full Experience

I have directly applied on their portal and got the interview scheduled.

Round 1 - Technical Round

2 DSA problem 1 I was not able to solve and other was next greatest number as I have already solved this problem so I was able to tell the answer.

1 SQL problem it was easy. Some questions around my resume.

This was the bad day as I was having issue with my laptop it went to restart in middle of interview and that left a negative response from interviewer.

Verdict - Rejected.
