Process
3-hour coding challenge, which was pretty straightforward.
There was only one question, nothing too algorithmic, but the question just had a lot of caveats.
Hour-long phone interview.
LeetCode medium question involved backtracking.

Okta Work Experiences
5.0
Great company to work for
Software Quality Assurance Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
July 18, 2022
Pros: Competitive salary and benefits, great culture, great people, great products. Can WFH permanently. Wellness days imply more time off (on top of regular holidays + "unlimited PTO"). Company is doing great, so it should have staying power when a recession hits.
Cons: Founders too liberal and progressive, in my opinion. As I'm Republican and more conservative, I respect everyone's viewpoint. That's what makes America great.
Company still hiring fairly aggressively, in my opinion. They should scale back during this uncertain time, as things can change quickly.

Pros: Okta is leading the transition from on-premise IT to cloud services. Engineering is a strong meritocracy. Unlimited PTO ensures everyone takes regular vacations.
