Entretien
In short, extensive and impressive!!! Starting with a seasoned, supportive and punctual recruiter phone call, then a company introductory meeting with an awesome VP of Engineering who will leave you just dreaming of joining his team. Screening phone interviews, a full day of interviews with great friendly Okta staff and finally followup interviews to best position the candidate in the right team. Things that touched me like accommodating a personal condition that postponed my interviews for a couple of months. Top smart engineers, who are down to earth and very friendly. The moment you step in, you can feel the positive energy everywhere, and staff who have passion for everything they do. The recruiter gave me the best interviewing experience I ever had in my over 18 years of professional experience. He's very friendly, helpful, kept me up to date with the process and did everything possible to make me comfortable during the process. I am very sad I couldn't go for their offer due to some personal reasons at my end.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
NDA! I am sorry!!! The good thing they are going to tell you ahead what to expect during the interviews. No surprises! They just need to gauge your skills level, not to trick you.

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.

Entretien
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.
