Okta interview questions

I had a really great phone call with the hiring manager, and was then presenting with their technical challenge. These are pretty par for the course for Sales Engineer jobs these days, but the scope of what they asked for was laughable. They gave me two weeks to complete, but what they didn’t say was that it would take two weeks of working on it nearly full time to complete. I ran the tasks by some experienced developer friends of mine, and they laughed at how much sheer labor would be involved in completing. The project essentially involved standing up servers, integrating into the Okta APIs, and then creating a polished application and presenting it. This wasn't just proving understanding of core technical concepts, this was building a fully functional and complete solution, end to end. While the hiring manager did say they tend to hire people that complete the challenge, it was an unreasonable amount of work to ask anyone to do to prove they are capable of doing the job.
