      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      1 May 2013
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2012

      Interview

      Applied via LinkedIn and a recruiter called 2 days later. Was impressed the first contact was a conversation instead of a canned email. Had a technical phone screen and coding test, neither of which was taxing. Went on-site twice for interviews, 8 hours in total. Interviews were 1:1, heavy on CS fundamentals, and each required me to write code on the whiteboard. Last interview was with CEO, who answered all my questions. Very efficient process overall -- was never left wondering what's next.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Implement a constant-time sorting algorithm called sleepsort.
