The interview process started with a recruiter reaching out to me through my LinkedIn profile. After a round of phone interviews, I was invited for on-site interviews at the Seattle/Bellevue office. The interviews were pretty standard for a software engineering position. I was asked coding questions, questions related to my past projects, as well as some system design questions.

After these rounds, I was asked to visit the headquarters in SFO. During the day, I met around 7-8 people, including the CTO of the company. For the most part, I would say the interview questions were straightforward, and people were fun and easy to talk to.

The only negative for me was the outcome of the interview and the feedback that followed, along the lines of "we don't have the level of challenge that you are looking for." This I found strange considering:

• I was really upfront about the type of opportunities I was looking for and made sure the recruiter was aware of it at every stage of the interview.
• Okta being a relatively young company, it's a bit hard to believe they don't have "challenges."

Overall, I would say the experience was positive, and I would highly recommend the company to anyone interested in identity management cloud-based solutions.

Practice data structure and string manipulation questions.
