Process
I had an interview with someone from human resources after speaking to Akamai at a career fair.
I received an email asking me to schedule an interview two weeks after the fair.
I was asked behavioral questions and about the kind of software development experience I had. She promised to schedule a technical interview within a month, but there was no follow-up after 4 months.
