I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Akamai in Sep 2020
Interview
The recruiter was very nice, but kept my behavioral interview short and didn't ask too many questions. I did not make it to the next round because I didn't know one of the languages required. I was encouraged to keep in contact, prepare and reapply in the future.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Languages known
2. Why are you interested in the role
Pretty standard call with introductory call with softball questions around my experience with data science overall. No real technical quizzing or anything like that. Never heard back after that first call though
Spoke with recruiter twice before having a conversational interview with hiring manager. She asked a few questions about my prior work and then general questions about modeling and working with external stakeholders. Mostly, she discouraged me from continuing in the process saying it isn't really technical work
