Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process was good and pretty straightforward.

One recruiter call was followed by a phone interview and then an onsite.

Everything went well, and the recruiter even showed interest. However, it became very difficult to communicate with the recruiter afterward. After numerous follow-ups, I was told that the position was being re-evaluated.

The worst part was having to let go of another offer because I was really looking forward to working for Okta. They still haven't gotten back to me after two months.

I can understand the COVID-19 situation, but a lack of communication or updates is no excuse.

The interviewers were nice and engaging, but the recruitment process was disappointing.
