I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Okta (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2020
Interview
The interview process at Okta is probably the worst in the entire tech industry. I initially applied on their website after being prompted by a recruiter through my school. I completed the online assessment, which took approximately four hours. The next day the recruiter informed me that my test score was not high enough for the position, although my code passed all the test cases. The recruiter then suggested I apply for another position, Application Analyst Intern, which I did. I then completed another online assessment that involved answering questions related to software engineering, networking and API development. I waited patiently for a response but was informed later that there were over 6000 applicants for the position and so the company was no longer moving forward with my candidacy. My advice to anyone would be to avoid applying to this sham of a tech company that has absolutely no respect for peoples' time. They seem to be running a giant "head hunting" operation, but their products are second rate, which does not merit their absolutely insane hiring practices.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give an example of when you developed with a public API?
First round was a conding round with easy to medium questions.we need solve in 70 min.then shortlisted people need to go for in person interview in vellore . Then there would be 2-3 technical interviews and one managerial interview.
I didn’t pass the OA, so I didn’t get an interview. The OA had two questions, categorized as easy and medium, but there were no test cases, so I had to dry run them myself. I only realized last night that I had made a mistake.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2023
Interview
Not including the OA, I had three rounds with 4 interviewers. First round was a basic phone screen. Second round was a technical. Third Round was two parts, first a technical, then a talk with the hiring manager. Process took about 2 weeks and recruiters were very helpful and responsive.
