I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai (Boston, MA) in Jan 2017
Interview
First couple of rounds over the telephone. Friendly, professional and responsive. The interviewers were direct and to the point as well as knowledgable. Only negative was that when I ultimately did not receive an offer, no one contacted me to tell me I did not receive the job. Even after contacting the recruiter, I did not receive a response.
All in all, very good company with great reviews from both employees and customers.

Question 1
Rank the areas of human resources by your comfort level.
The interview process was thorough - started with a phone screen with recruiter, then an interview with recruiter and then the hiring manager. Then I went onsite for an interview, at which time they also walked me around the office to give a big of a tour of the facility. Questions were mainly about my experience and why I was interested in the role. The recruiter was very communicative and knowledgeable about the role. It was definitely a thorough, but enjoyable experience.
