Entretien
5 part interview process - Initial recruiter screening, Hiring Manager Screening, Take-home assignment, Tech Interview, Final panel interview.
Initial response times were great, went through 4 (out of 5 rounds) within 2-3 weeks. However, I got ghosted after the tech interview (round 4). 0 feedback provided, all follow-up emails ignored.
One of the interviewers actually boasted about the company being "known for responding" but in hindsight, I think they were being sarcastic.

Recruiters reached out to me twice, and both times proceeded to ghost me. I don't think I'll waste my time dealing with this company again as clearly they don't know what they're doing.

Interviewed for Staff Software Engineer role at Okta.
The interview process consisted of 4 rounds:
Recruiter screening
Hiring Manager discussion
CodeSignal online assessment
Technical discussion with two engineers (focused on the assignment)
The overall process was smooth and well-organized. The online assessment was followed by a detailed technical discussion where I explained my approach and design decisions.
The final round was a discussion with two engineers about the assignment and general technical concepts. The discussion was interactive, though at times the interview felt a bit unstructured, and there were some areas of confusion during the conversation.
Overall, it was a good learning experience. The questions were practical and focused on real-world backend concepts like rate limiting, system design, and trade-offs.
