I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (London, England) in Jul 2025
Interview
The interview process at Okta typically involves five stages: an initial conversation with the recruiter, a meeting with the hiring manager, a discussion with a pre-sales leader, a panel or discovery call, and finally, an in-person meeting with the VP at their offices.

Question 1
Why are we here?
Tell me about a deal you are proud of
how do you ensure you perform?
Smooth. Very engaging. Lots of thoughtful interactions. Good questions. Good format. Pitch their product or your own. Nothing out of the ordinary. Multiple rounds. Multiple people. Transparent feedback from each person.
8 interviews total; recruiter, hiring manager, 1 rep on the team, 1 rep from another team, 1 rep from another team, VP, 1 manager from another team, 1 manger from another team. hindsight: if you don't know the candidate is a good fit by the 3rd-4th interview, then they probably are not. took 3 months from first interview to offer.
