I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai (Katowice) in Sept 2024
Interview
The interviewer who supposed to be a hiring manager
asked me 1 Network which I answered correctly as I am 25 years experience in system and network administration
asked me if I know Python I said yes and he said Ok so my team will ask you later some python questions
I told him I even used and administered OpenStack that is built with Python and I managed it in high scale and high availability environment
asked me question in Linux and I answered
But the interviewer gave false information to HR and claimed that I did not answer his questions right and that I did not show Senior level of the position which is completely untrue and misleading
I doubt he is even an engineer or has any speciality in IT
