Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience

January 27, 2026
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online.

I applied for Okta through LinkedIn. After a few days, I received an online assessment on CodeSignal; it was some JavaScript-based problem. I submitted the assessment with all test cases passing. The assessment was supposed to be submitted on or before Jan 25, and I finished almost 10 days before. I haven't received any communication after that till now! I don't think I'll waste my time dealing with this company again!
