Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 3 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Okta em jul. de 2024
Entrevista
Step 1) Interview with internal recruiter. Top level interview to get all expectations in line. Was really incredible to work with!
Step 2) Hiring Manager Interview. Talked with the team lead/hiring manager. More nitty gritty details. Had a nice talk. After the call I had gotten an email that they had liked my technical background and skills and after the talk felt the senior position would be more appropriate.
Step 3) Take home assessment. Easily the best take home. They are super understanding about how much time people realistically have between life, family, and more likely their current job. I was given a week to complete.
Step 4) Team Interview. I was under the impression this would be a more technical interview. However, it was very much not. It felt like the same exact "icebreaker" questions that we had done in the previous interview. Which I don't mind, but considering it had already been done and was touted as a technical so I could show them what I knew. It was very off putting. I want to be very clear: the team was wonderful! I loved talking to everyone there. It's just the process was a little weird.
Also due to scheduling conflicts over a holiday weekend (things happen, it being pushed back was entirely fine with me) I had tried to get them to send over the assessment to finish it over the weekend. The request was quickly denied, which seemed like a huge red flag.
I ended up not getting either position due to my lack of "technical abilities". I never got an opportunity to show them so this definitely rubbed the wrong way.

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.
