I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Process was pathetic. Same recruiter reached out to me last year and interviewed with them. He ghosted on me then. He came back this year and asked me to interview again. I went through phone screen and was asked to appear for on-site zoom loop. I talked to few engineers. One of my interview with VP gets rescheduled again couple of weeks later. After the interview, 3/4 weeks no update from recruiter. This lacks basic professionalism and utter waste of time for not only for me but also for other people. Just word of caution before moving forward with this company.
3 rounds of interview first round is coding round taken by a principal engineer who asked a complex coding question not DSA but take complex json input parse it flaten it and make weighted average of the inputs and provide a output in a different format

Question 1
Coding question about data json handling and weighted average calculation
Interviewed in summer 2024. Talk with screener about job, role, etc. First stage was talk with Hiring Manager about exp. Second's home work, create backend service using their reqs, nothing complicated but time consuming. 3d stage arch decision talk with one of the engineers from target team (also security related questions, basic topics without depth). 4th and last interview was with Head of Department or some similar role, std behavioral questions, motivation talk, etc. Didn't pass last stage, reason unknown. 1.5 mos from first contact to the end. Neutral since last stage was terrible, weird talk, ghosted results (before were responsive).

Question 1
What is Cross-Site Scripting and how to prevent it.
Took 6 weeks for a single interview then never heard from again. Would wholeheartedly not recommend them to anyone ever. This is just too much for anyone to have to go through.
