HR Screening: You would be asked about your current role and whether you understood the Job Description and if you are okay to proceed.

Manager Round (1st Technical Round): You would be questioned on your current projects. Also, the manager would try to understand how well you grasped the JD and if you are okay to work in shifts. They will also ask you questions where you implemented a solution to check your situation handling capacity. Plus, a few technical questions on HTTP and Internet technologies.

Presentation Round (2nd Round): Once you clear the 1st Tech round, you would be asked to give a presentation on either HTTP or DNS. Make sure you prepare the presentation by yourself without using any available PPTs on Google. They will ask questions in response to your answers, so make sure you are thorough with the concepts. Try to keep it under 20 slides, since they ask questions on each slide and you will only have 1 hour to wrap everything up. I chose HTTP. Needless to say, you should be fluent in English, which would work in your favor while giving the presentation. Even if you don't know the answer, put a smile on your face and attempt to answer it rather than passing.

Logical Reasoning (3rd Round): You would be given 2 puzzles to solve, which are relatively simple. I got '3 Bulbs in a room' and the 'crossing the river' puzzle, which you can easily Google.

Plus, you would also be given 2 situation-based scenarios to see your approach.

Day as SA (4th Round): The panel would walk you through the work they do on a daily basis. This is more of you listening and the interviewer telling you, so make sure you are attentive.

Senior Manager Round (5th Round): Again, some questions about yourself and why Akamai, and why the SA profile. Be confident and answer honestly. Make sure you don't ask questions like "Is there onsite opportunity?" and stuff.

HR Round (6th Round): Salary discussion and questions related to your previous companies and why you left them. Plus, HR would give a brief on benefits available at Akamai.

Hearing and Email Writing Test (English) (7th Round): This is something like IELTS. If you are good in English, you don't need to be afraid of this one. In my opinion, this was very easy if you hear everything properly.
