Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

In short, extensive and impressive!

Starting with a seasoned, supportive, and punctual recruiter phone call, then a company introductory meeting with an awesome VP of Engineering who will leave you just dreaming of joining his team. The process included screening phone interviews, a full day of interviews with great, friendly Okta staff, and finally, follow-up interviews to best position the candidate in the right team.

Things that touched me included accommodating a personal condition that postponed my interviews for a couple of months.

I met top, smart engineers who are down-to-earth and very friendly. The moment you step in, you can feel the positive energy everywhere and staff who have passion for everything they do.

The recruiter gave me the best interviewing experience I've ever had in my over 18 years of professional experience. He was very friendly, helpful, kept me up to date with the process, and did everything possible to make me comfortable. I am very sad I couldn't accept their offer due to some personal reasons on my end.

Questions

I am sorry! The good thing is they will tell you ahead of time what to expect during the interviews. There will be no surprises. They just need to gauge your skill level, not trick you.
