Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (Bengaluru) in Nov 2023
Interview
I applied on the company website after which I was reached out by a HR Recruiter. She was extremely helpful but i resent that working night shift wasn't mentioned in the first call.
I interviewed for the role remotely and I was asked if I was aware what Pre Sales was and if I could help their potential customers in their technical issues.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me about yourself
2. What is Solutioning in Pre Sales?
3. How can you help increase revenue for Youtube ads with a real life scenario
4. Why Okta? Why Solutions Engineering?
30 min phone call with a sales recruiter. The recruiter joined late and was acting uninterested from the start. Felt like I was wasting my time. Zero enthusiasm for the role and took a grilling standpoint when trying to learn more about my history when they already had my resume in front of them. Left comments like "Ok?" and "So?" when I described my work. All this for an entry-level associate role. I don't expect a call and don't mind since I wouldn't want to work somewhere with that energy.

Question 1
What do you know about the role? Who were you selling to in your current role? Why do you want to work at Okta? What do you know about the products?
