I applied online. I interviewed at Okta (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2020
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter from LinkedIn, asked to apply. I had a phone interview with someone different than whom I was contacted by. The person I contacted by was not prepared for the interview. They didn't read my resume before the call, and they didn't ask me what my interests were. I applied for one role, pushed to interview for another. I pushed to interview for a manager's role, then asked no questions about managing teams or resources. I had to implement a b-tree on the fly, which was fine. The dev interviewer wasn't prepared, either. Just a strange experience.

Interview
Recruiters reached out to me twice, and both times proceeded to ghost me. I don't think I'll waste my time dealing with this company again as clearly they don't know what they're doing.
