I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2016
Interview
The process started with a brief conversation with a recruiter, followed by a technical phone screen in Collabedit. After that I went on-site to the San Francisco office for a day of interviews.
It is a very cool company and everyone is super nice, smart and extremely hard-working. I'm not sure if I'm going to accept the offer yet, but I'm heavily leaning towards it. The offer was great.

Question 1
Why do you want to work for Okta? What do you know about how the cloud works?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Okta (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
Applied online and had phone interview with their chief architect. The conversation dives deep into identity management and my background. It went well so I was brought to onsite. The onsite interview process was a nightmare !!!
1. The hiring team turned out to be a totally different team from the phone interview and they have no idea about my background, nor they care.
2. The interviewers didn't come prepared at all. They just start looking at my resume while I was talking to them.
3. You think Okta is identity management company? Sorry, they didn't even care anything about authentication, authorization, or web security. Two questions were asked: twoSum and thread contention, using C... seriously, treat me like a new grad?
4. The HR person stopped the interview and let me go after two rounds. I drove 2 hours to attend the onsite interview, don't I deserve some respect?
5. No parking fee or gas fee was reimbursed, even after I mentioned to them.
Terrible experience... glad I have offers from other companies :)
