Process
Didn’t expect this from Okta. The interviewer didn’t listen to your answer completely, and they only expect the answer they want. The interview happened in the office and took a whole day for two rounds. I hope they will improve their candidate evaluation process.

Toxic Culture, No Autonomy

Pros: Global org, so you'll get to travel every now and then to the US. However, this will change over a couple of months.
Cons: Toxic, locally and globally. Everyone's perpetually scared on when they could be laid off. Managers are mere puppets here and run on orders from the US. No autonomy. The hiring team will give you a rosy picture, but if you ask more, they're horrible liars. Save yourself, run while you can.

Overall, a great place to work

Pros: Colleagues are generally very open, collaborative, and knowledgeable.
There are plenty of opportunities to grow, especially given the Bangalore office is relatively new (in 2024), and even senior folks are ready to spend time to help you out.
Cons: There are still growing pains in the India office, though perks such as health insurance and EPF have been sorted out. There are the universal issues of a few bad apples here and there, but they are very much the exception.
