      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Okta (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Jul 2026

      Interview

      The interview consisted of two technical stages: the first was a LeetCode medium question, and the second was a system design interview. During the process, I was asked to present a system I previously worked on, followed by an unclear LeetCode hard question with minimal explanation. The interviewer was unprofessional and condescending throughout, making the experience highly uncomfortable. Additionally, they asked inappropriate and irrelevant personal questions regarding my place of residence and military background. I suggest thinking twice before interviewing with this company.
