Long. It was a four round process. First round: Screening with Recruiter, Second Round: Peer Interview, Third Round: Leadership Interview, Fourth Round: On-site (and I did this twice - minus the fourth round. I'll spare you the details).
Recruiters want you to follow-up to your application via email (I did a couple of times before I got a response)... so if you want it, make sure you're diligent.
First round is just a feeler, make sure you have a pulse. From that point, it's about reading whoever you're speaking with. I didn't find that anyone really wanted examples of my technical knowledge. But they were very interested in my ability to build and maintain relationships with enterprise clients. Definitely, come prepared with solid examples and be able to expand on whatever is on your resume.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you deal with managing a number of different deal lines and client requirements?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Okta in May 2022
Interview
After the first interview with the recruiting team, they let me know the manager who’s team I would be interviewing for was going to be on leave. The first two interviews were great. After the presentation round (final round) they the interview panel let me know they didn’t know what the manager on leave was looking for for her team which made me feel this process was a waste of my time.

Question 1
First 2 interviews were questions around the job and your experience.
Presentation is definitely tailored more for someone who works within the company. A lot of research and a lot of time is needed if you don’t work within the company.
The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (Washington, DC)
Interview
The process was typical for larger SaaS companies. 3-5 weeks. Several 1:1 interviews with various people ending with a final round presentation. Recruiter(s) were not always the most responsive. I had to check in and follow up first more then I would have liked. But the experience overall was positive.

Question 1
Several situational questions. ex. What’s an example of a time when you had to overcome an obstacle with a customer. How did you get through it. What was the resolution.
