I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Akamai (Bengaluru) in Feb 2010
Interview
Akamai has a very grilling interview process for each and every hire. The aims and objectives of the role are very clearly defined and the focus is on the individual's ability to cope up with a fast paced challenging industry environment. I got an initial call from the HR, then had a telephonic interview with the hiring manager. The next step was a 1:1 interview with the hiring team followed by a presentation on Akamai products and solutions. Next steps were a meeting with the DIrector and followed by a aptitude and engish test.

Applied online via LinkedIn. Contacted by internal recruiter to schedule a screening. Entire process consisted of phone screening from internal recruiter followed up by an in-person interview and then 2-3 phone interviews with the hiring manager and his manager. Entire process took around 4-5 weeks from first touch to hiring. Nothing too out of the ordinary.

Interview
It was a fantastic experience getting through various interview phases and I really found it challenging and interesting.
But the HR team at Bangalore, India is filled by people who doesn't have any idea about their responsibilities. They are ruining the reputations of Akamai, a company which is ready to spend a lot of money to find the best talent for the right job. PEOPLE AT USA NEED TO ENSURE THEY SET THE HR PROCESS RIGHT AT INDIA,ELSE THEY ARE HEADING TOWARDS A WRONG DIRECTION.
