Interview process started with a call from the recruiter to go over the job description and details of Okta. Recruiter scheduled the initial 2 rounds of technical interviews with a team member in Okta DevSecOps team and with a member of site reliability engineering team the next day. I did well in the technical interviews. Recruiter sent email informing that I am advancing to the next rounds of behavioral interviews with the manager of Okta DevSecOps team and a security architect. Those interviews were held on the same day, Monday, 05/19. I did well in the 2 behavioral rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. CICD pipelines need to execute faster. What can be done to make the pipelines run faster ?
2. DevOps is very dynamic area as new tools and platforms are coming continuously. How do you learn new tools ?
3. Have you found a security vulnerability that was previously undetected ? If so, how did you handle that situation ?
It was straight up behavioral interview and technical interviews. Multiple rounds, I was recruited from my university. I also asked previous interns on linkedin their experience, just connect with them and be courteous when asking so you dont come off as too pushy. Good luck yall ,make sure to read up on identity and access management.
Started with HR interview. HR was very friendly and its a great experience. After that, interview with hiring manager from Australia. He's cold and he seems like not interested to hire anyone at the beginning of interview. He didn't want to answer my questions thoroughly at the end of interview. The interview is meant for 2 way communications. He's arrogant and didn't show any friendliness. His face was angry and stressed mode. No wonder the Security/Red Team/Penetration testers at Okta want to quit from the company and looking for jobs desperately. I met them all at the conferences. Lastly, this role/position 's been opening for very long time.
