      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      28 Oct 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai in Sept 2023

      Interview

      The interview process went like this: 1. Some email back and forth with the recruiter. 2. Hiring manager chat. Some behavioral and technical questions. 3. Technical round 1: Live coding, simple problem around writing a program for parsing log files then an exercise to write a bash script. 4. Technical round 2: Talk through system design for a couple of scenarios. 5. Technical round 3: Linux/Operations. This one was half trivia about Linux and docker etc. and then a live debugging session to debug a networking issue over an SSH session. 6. Team Fit interview: behavioural questions around conflict, communication, etc. Everyone I talked to was nice. One interviewer was visibly not paying attention and asked duplicate questions. Live coding session was a bit chaotic. Debugging session was kinda neat. They were vague and cagey about specifics of the project I would actually work on. Seemed like there was a lot of organizational confusion. My interviewers were honest about their big corporation woes. Base pay was low but stocks, perks, and signing bonus were pretty good. I declined and they came back quite aggressively with higher numbers. Recruiter was kinda pushy. Seemed like a good place to coast along at a big corporation.

      Webex interview. An hour and a half technical session with the team leader and another team member. Most of the time, they talk about designing a system that you have experience with, asking questions about the design decisions, and asking you to draw a diagram of the system using Webex's annotation tools, which don't work properly.
