I applied online. I interviewed at Okta in Feb 2026
Interview
Written email screening + Two 30-minute behavioral interview rounds. One with regional sales team leaders, one with sales manager at a different location. Come prepared with stories about communication, teamwork, motivation, and leadership (STAR Method). Interviewers were not from HR, so if you're interviewed for other positions experience may vary, but the interviewers and recruiters (from email interactions) were genuinely interested in me as a person and had great energy, and made it very comfortable to respond to questions. 10 minutes of the interview are reserved for questions. Unfortunately I had to withdraw, but the interviewers made Okta seem like a great place to intern at. Would be excited at the opportunity to work with them in the future.
They did an initial email screening asking about your goals and the first interview is a lot asking about you and culture fit, as well as behavioral questions. Overall, they were very nice throughout the process and responded relatively quick.

Interview
The interview process was fast. I made it to the second round of screenings. The interviewers were friendly and professional. The first round was a 30m phone call and the second round was a 45m zoom interview that focused on the overall research process for 2-3 projects.
