Hello all, I have an interview scheduled with akamai for SRE position and would like to have your assistance on what can be asked and what I should be prepared for? TC 140 YOE 11 yrs
Hi - I worked at Akamai for over 8 years. It is a great company. I was so sad to leave last year -I am in finance and there are just better opportunities out there. I supported the old Platform division where most of the SRE’s are employed. There is a lot of tech debt and it’s important that you are able to acknowledge that and have a plan to still drive more contemporary thought. Good luck. I sincerely wish you the best. Akamai was my dream company - unfortunately finance did not have compatible leadership to my philosophy.
which old Platform are you talking about? there was just one Platform

Who are these retards asking for dictatorship in India?
1. Web basics.... so DNS, SSL, HTTP(S), WEB TECHNOLOGIES 2. Common metrics for web performance client side and network side 3. Common troubleshooting for performance issues network wide. Run thru your breakdown of problems and solutions and how you approach a problem. 4. What alerts do you commonly setup and monitor and why? 5. Describe your typical role in an incident response. From diagnosis to comms. I'd start there. Do you have a background in SRE or is this a transfer from a diff.posn externally?
Yeah I have been in SRE role for over 5 yrs now. And rest in application support.
Thanks a lot for your quick response. Can I ping you separately to understand the Akamai culture and company standards?
