A recruiter from okta reached out to me on LinkedIn.
As usual he asked me few times available to chat.
I suggested him few times that week and guess what he set a call for next week. I was pretty OK.
1 Hour before the call, I get an email saying he is overbooked, and scheduled my interview next week without asking for my availability. I understand it happens so I suggested great sounds good talk to you next week.
Guess what on next appointment, 30 mins before my call he said he is rescheduling interview again.
I was interested in learning more about okta but cannot work for company which is not professional or respectful to candidates.

Entrevista
Recruiters reached out to me twice, and both times proceeded to ghost me. I don't think I'll waste my time dealing with this company again as clearly they don't know what they're doing.

Entrevista
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.
