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.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (London, England) in July 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?
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.
