Okta interview questions

Typical sales interview, asks about background but wants you to know all about Okta before speaking with them. At the end of the day you all are just another company. The question “Why Okta?” Is ignorant. You’re a job. A means to and end. We only know what we know by reading reviews, nobody will ever know “why Okta” until actually being there. Fortunately, I wasn’t looking for a job, a recruiter reached out to me. Most applicants don’t have time to read and study every company they’ll interview with. That’s what the conversations are for. I had a very lazy manager, it seemed, and I would definitely not go to bat for someone like that. They want someone loyal before showing loyalty. Newsflash, doesn’t work like that. I would be willing to speak with anyone over this matter as well.

- Screen Call with Recruiter - Call with Hiring Manager - Onsite interviews with various members from different teams Interaction with everyone during the process was really positive but where things turned for the bad was after the process was completed. I was advised by the recruiter that the company wanted to proceed with me for the role and requested references which were provided which were were conducted with positive feedback provided. But after this was done and awaiting confirmation of contract offer, things went silent. The reason I was given after many attempts for an update with the recruiter was that the process for hiring for the role was delayed. But after two months of being given excuses of delays, they ended up recruiting someone else for the role who did not have the experience or skills outlined in the requirements as per the Job Description and discussed with the team for the role. It was very obvious that I was mislead and used as a "plan B" option which was very unprofessional and soured my experience with the company in the end. A very disappointing ending to what I perceived as a great company with great people and solutions to offer the market.
