I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Akamai
Interview
for all support roles, first 2 or 3 rounds will be over telephonic. and each round will go for atleast 30mins to 2 hours. I had my third round for 1 and a half hour. if you can crack akamais interview atleast first 3 rounds, then you can crack almost many top companies interview( EMC,Netapp,Microsoft etc.,).
the focus on 2 main things . 1) the knowledge you gained in your previous job. 2) Indepth basic test(Example: for a network engineer DNS might look like a easy topic, but here you will get questions for DNS for an hour. they wont stop questioning untill you stop answering)
all together, you may face 5-6 rounds
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Whats the difference between Repeated DNS request and DNS Trafficking
You might expect lot of questions from DNS, HTTP, TCP,
You wont get much questions on linux or server related questions
And you wont get STUPID aptitude questions like how many apples can fit this room.
