On April 10th 2025 I got a mail from HR, wanted to connect with you, please select a suitable time. 1st Round : Screening Round with HR 2nd Round: Kubernetes System Design and Cultural fit questions with Hiring Manager 3rd Round: Dive Dive Kubernetes, Scenerio based question 4th Round (Final) : Kubernetes lifecycle questions As i was not selected in Final Round I got a Feedback email from HR to connect. 15 mins Feedbacks call.

The process ended abruptly and unexpectedly after my HR interview. The HR interview went great. The position lined up with my skills and with what I was looking for, the recruiter commented positively on my answers, and said that they thought I would be a great fit at Okta (either in the position I'd applied for, or for one of their other openings.) Said they would pass my information on to the hiring manager and they'd be in touch shortly. I actually felt good about the call, which is a rarity - initial screens are usually a solidly neutral experience. The next communication I got was an automated rejection notification from their ATS. I'm used to getting rejection notifications before I've ever talked to anyone at the company - but I found it rude and unprofessional that after having started a conversation with Okta, they couldn't even bother to notify me personally or provide me with any details on why decided not to move forward.
