Interview
I found the interview process at Okta extremely smooth and well coordinated. The process was straight forward from initial call with the Lead Recruiter, interview with the Hiring Manager, a peer interview and then a final interview with the RVP Commercial Sales. For each stage I was briefed on the preparation needed for the next call. The entire process was less than 3 weeks (could've been shorter but I was on holiday).

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.

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