I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Okta in May 2024
Interview
Round 1 - Recruiter Screen
Round 2 - Hiring Manager (Director) - Standard behavioural interview.
Round 3 - Group PM - (There was a gap of 10 days between round 2 and 3). Similar round but they did not utilize the entire interview time, which was an indicator that they had already made an offer to somebody else.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Fairly conversational and questions around tell me about a time...
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Okta (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Cancelled the interview 15 minutes before the interview and asked for times to reschedule. However, once I sent over the new times, they completely ghosted me. Not sure what happened, and even if they did the candidate to fill the position, still a bit annoying.

Question 1
Was unable to get on the phone with them, but from what I saw on other sites was their interview process was pretty basic.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (Vancouver, BC) in Aug 2024
Interview
Initial screen call with recruiter then meeting with manager, afterward was sent a take home test to write a microservice in go was given 3 days. The recruiter and hiring manager were both professional. Was told we would review the test in the 3rd interview. The interviewer was more interested in talking about benign things like XSS was focused on non-relevant security issues, never talked about the test and was more interested in hitting their "vape" and talking about non-relevant security issues finally pivoted into threat modeling. Not one mention of the test thankfully I did it in 3 hours what a waste of time. The positive takeaway is i'm glad I didn't get an offer because I would have refused and I have a feeling Okta is next to be compromised.
