      Systems Engineer Interview

      Apr 15, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Cambridge, MA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Akamai (Cambridge, MA)

      Interview

      Was called for only one interview in Akamai that lasted for 30 min. Was asked about Project and some data structure questions. Nothing was asked about Networking and unix /linux experience. I was surprised myself to be interviewed for this position since I hold a experience in J2EE and Spring MVC and have little knowledge of Unix/ linux. The interview seemed to be just a formality and I got rejection stating that they need somebody with unix experience.
