Process
I applied through referral and got a call from HR, then the Hiring Manager, and then many rounds of technical interviews with the Linode team.
It was not a good feeling. Some who interviewed me were nice and told me that I was a great fit, as the work I did in the past matches their day-to-day tasks. Others were outright rude.
I spoke with a bunch of Polish folks who were off-camera, except one. They were demoralizing, and they seemed stuck in the past. Most of the folks have been at Akamai for 10+ years.
I spent 5 hours on technical rounds, and the least they could do is give some feedback.
HR went cold after asking me to wait for two weeks because of the holiday.
