Process
A recruiter from Okta reached out to me on LinkedIn.
As usual, he asked me for a few times available to chat.
I suggested a few times that week, and guess what? He set a call for the next week. I was pretty okay with that.
One hour before the call, I received an email stating he was overbooked and rescheduled my interview for the following week without asking for my availability. I understand it happens, so I replied, "Great, sounds good. Talk to you next week."
Guess what? On the next appointment, 30 minutes before my call, he said he was rescheduling the interview again.
I was interested in learning more about Okta, but I cannot work for a company that is not professional or respectful to candidates.
