I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Okta in Apr 2023
Interview
Met with multiple members of the team, was ultimately told I was a great fit for Okta but they were re-examining the role. Fast forward to 2 months later they have reposted the role and after the application the recruiter denied me as if I had never interviewed for the role in the first place. Be prepared if you apply for a role with Okta to be pulled around in circles to no end.
Friendly interviewers, but they have zero regard for your time or effort. Both roles I've interviewed for were closed right before the last interview. The recruiter then sent me another role that was a level below to gauge my interest. Absolutely awful hiring process and quite the opposite of the nice company image they try to convey.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (Toronto, ON) in May 2023
Interview
During the tech screen, no intro and wasn't asked to introduce myself so really bad vibes from the start. I was given problem to solve which I solved but the interviewer was silent all throughout and only cared about grilling me to fail. Really bad tech screen, I'm from a group that is extremely underrepresented within tech and I can imagine this might have caused some unconscious bias, no other reason to fail me for solving a problem.. Responded with a no-reply email rejecting me.
