The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2023
Interview
Pretty standard interview process. First a screening call with a recruiter, followed by a behavioral interview with the hiring manager, then an online coding test. A few days after receiving the link to the online test, I got a message from a recruiter that the position was filled. Overall, the whole process left a great impression despite me not getting the job. The recruiter did a great job of communicating any delays or changes in the process, and the hiring manager was open and provided great feedback. Also, and I can't believe I even have to mention this, I really appreciated getting a rejection email before I've spent the time working on the coding test. 10/10, would love to apply again.
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
