I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Okta in Mar 2014
Interview
Hiring and interview process took about 30 days. I was referred by an Okta employee - which seems the only way to get a job with an established startup. The recruiter was great and transparent about process. It was a straight forward process but slow to hire. Steps included a 30 minute phone call with a Recruiter, In Person Interview with 4 people (individually). A 30 minute Preso. Skills & Personality Assessment online that took about 90 minutes. Negotiation. Offer.

Question 1
Presentation and research on company and why they would be a good fit for Okta
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (Bellevue, WA) in Sep 2024
Interview
screening meeting was great, met with hiring manager which was a dry meeting, very cliche questions with no understanding of what he was looking for, was told id be onto the next round and never returned back with info.
Too many interview rounds, overall good follow-up. 3 to 4 interviews plus a final panel interview including a use case. Feedback took too much time and it was not always clear.

Question 1
Questions were targeted on industry and Okta company knowledge, next to sales approach. A use case was the final part of the interview process.
