I had so many strange interactions with Okta, I'm confused by what's happening.

My first application was auto-rejected. A recruiter reached out anyway to set up a call, then ghosted me completely.

For my second application, a recruiter called me for a good talk. Immediately after, they called back asking for another candidate by a different name. Oops, things happen.

I got through all the interview rounds, including meeting with the VP. The final decision was they were looking for a different, more junior skillset. Why did I make the finals? Please align your process before making me go through hours of interviews.

A month passed, and a third recruiter reached out saying I had been referred. Cool! I met with them on Friday, only to be told on Monday that they had found another candidate.

This whole process felt really disorganized and somewhat disrespectful on all fronts.

Describe a time you made a significant technical decision and how did it end up?
