Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
A phone call is required after my application. The manager called me and had a 30-minute chat. He asked me some basic questions, like "Why Akamai?", "Who are you?", and "Do you know how Akamai works?". At last, he asked me a technical question: "What is cache policy?" Unfortunately, I did not have an idea at that time.
