Okta interview questions

Interviewed for Staff Software Engineer role at Okta. The interview process consisted of 4 rounds: Recruiter screening Hiring Manager discussion CodeSignal online assessment Technical discussion with two engineers (focused on the assignment) The overall process was smooth and well-organized. The online assessment was followed by a detailed technical discussion where I explained my approach and design decisions. The final round was a discussion with two engineers about the assignment and general technical concepts. The discussion was interactive, though at times the interview felt a bit unstructured, and there were some areas of confusion during the conversation. Overall, it was a good learning experience. The questions were practical and focused on real-world backend concepts like rate limiting, system design, and trade-offs.
