Hi everyone!
I recently gave my Akamai technical interviews for an MTS-2 position, and I wanted to share my experience here to help others prepare.

Round 1: HackerRank OA
I had to clear an online assessment with coding + MCQs to get shortlisted for the technical interviews.

Technical Round 1: (2 interviewers)

Q1: Write a function to sum any number of parameters.

Follow-up: What if someone passes a string? How do you handle errors?

Follow-up: Implement try-except for this function in Python.

Q2: Check if a given string is palindromic.

They asked for multiple test cases and edge cases.

Then they asked Python theory:

What are primitive data types in Python?

Explain decorators with an example. Where do you use them?

Some project-based questions: explain your recent projects and your role in them.

SQL:

Write a query [like lastest login user ]

Difference between DELETE, DROP, and TRUNCATE.

Discussed PUT vs POST methods and which one is idempotent.

Finally, a few behavioral questions about release and conflicts.
