Friendly interviewers, but they have zero regard for your time or effort. Both roles I've interviewed for were closed right before the last interview. The recruiter then sent me another role that was a level below to gauge my interest. Absolutely awful hiring process and quite the opposite of the nice company image they try to convey.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Okta in Apr 2026
Interview
First was phone call with HR then coding round. Next was 2 hours of system design and advance coding round 1 hour each. Finally, 30 mins call with Hiring manager. Interviewers were very attentive and process was smooth.
It was 3 rounds: Hiring manager, DSA and system design. Started with recruiter call then moved ahead accordingly.DSA round was medium leetcode and system design involved complete end to end cases
