I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Okta (Vancouver, BC) in May 2021
Interview
First interview was scheduled an hour after application was submitted.
Interview went well and recruiter confirmed multiple times that they would be reaching out to me by end of the week with an update. I never heard back despite emailing for a follow up as well.
The entire process stroke me as unprofessional as the recruiter kept asking about my OTE expectations...

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.
