Process
Worst place to interview. The HRs and recruiters do not care about your time nor do they respond to your emails.
First, they rescheduled the interview without asking if I was available. Then, no response for 3 weeks after the onsite.
After multiple follow-ups, they said the team's response was positive and in a week they would confirm and give a final response. I waited for another 3 weeks, and they just ghosted.
Do not even bother spending the time interviewing here. You will think you are getting somewhere, but you won't.
Questions
Multiple coding questions. Very basic algorithms. Also some network-related questions.

Akamai Technologies Work Experiences
- 2.0Top-down culture, run by bureaucrats, well supported by HRSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeCambridge, Massachusetts, United StatesDecember 3, 2014Pros: A good, viable business. Good developers and testers, mostly very smart, interesting personalities. The CEO is likable and smart, but his blog "Ask Tom" is written and signed by HR.Cons: Culture of extreme fear, fed by many very quiet people on H1 visas. People run away from you as soon as they sense any trouble. Run by the incompetent old timers with the great social skills, who would turn your every word against you. The ability to do the job does not count at all. HR refuses to look at that. Developers discuss technical details behind closed doors, so as to avoid disappointing those sharks with too much knowledge. Groups are isolated and only communicate to each other after the manager's approval. Six levels of hierarchy between a developer and the CEO.
