I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (Toronto, ON) in Jul 2025
Interview
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. CodeSignal assignment about Rate Limiting.
2. Pair-programming exercise for a express/node endpoint.
3. System Design (Cross-Domain SSO).
I went through a thorough interview process that included one HR round and four technical rounds. The technical interviews were challenging yet fair, and I had engaging discussions with the interviewers. After each round, I received positive feedback, which made me optimistic about the outcome.
However, despite the encouraging feedback throughout, I was ultimately rejected. The final decision came as a surprise, especially since no specific reasons or constructive feedback were provided.
Lack of transparency in the final decision
