Okta interview questions

Interviewed in summer 2024. Talk with screener about job, role, etc. First stage was talk with Hiring Manager about exp. Second's home work, create backend service using their reqs, nothing complicated but time consuming. 3d stage arch decision talk with one of the engineers from target team (also security related questions, basic topics without depth). 4th and last interview was with Head of Department or some similar role, std behavioral questions, motivation talk, etc. Didn't pass last stage, reason unknown. 1.5 mos from first contact to the end. Neutral since last stage was terrible, weird talk, ghosted results (before were responsive).

Had an interview with the recruiter and hiring manager. It felt like things were going well! Sent thank you messages as well a follow-up a week later, and haven't heard anything back (it has been over 3 weeks now). Based on other interview feedback here, ghosting seems to be a common theme with Okta candidates.
