Interview process was long, and included more than 5 video calls across many different departments. Everyone was friendly, and I appreciated the depth of context on the work and all the moving pieces included in the role.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Okta (Apex, NC) in Mar 2022
Interview
Started with a standard HR screening process. Short 15 minute call to see why I was interested, salary and a bit of my experience. She also detailed out the interview process going forward:
1. 30-40 zoom interview
2. 30 technical interview
3. 45 minutes Presentation interview
4. 30 minutes VP
Everything seemed fine. I did get to go to the first interview, however I did not love the experience with the interviewer (l I think he would have been my supervisor) he seemed like he was in a hurry and had something better to do than be on the call.
He asked many standard behavioral questions but he seemed like he just wanted to go through them quickly instead of hearing my stories and elaborate on them. I think he wasn’t too convinced of my experience given I come from a technical support background and he might have been looking for someone with more pre-sales background (but that’s just a guess).
The next day I got the email that I would not be moving forward. At least they contacted me…
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
-What do you do in your current role?
- What tools have you worked with?
-what do you do in your spare time?
- where do you see yourself in 3 years?
- what compensation/salary are you expecting? (This one kinda threw me off because they asked me again after the HR screening process)
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Okta in Dec 2020
Interview
Included a phone screen, two 1:1 interviews, and a panel use case presentation. They were supportive along the way and the recruiter was great. One of my 1:1 was a no call/no show and we ended up rescheduling, which really put me off from the role. The presentation was extremely labor intensive and then I didn't get an offer.
