“Interviews went well. Company found a better candidate. I got very good feedback from my interviewers though.”
“The process was highly structured and intellectually demanding, spanning five distinct rounds that tested engineering fundamentals, product design, strategy, and leadership. It felt more rigorous than many standard big-tech interviews because it required a deep dive into Okta’s specific ecosystem, particularly the Okta Integration Network (OIN) and its technical nuances.”
“The process was very simple but very unorganized; the interview got postponed once. I would say it would have been better if we knew what kind of questions they were about to ask, at least domain-wise, as the final round was more behavioral but not well done.”
“The process was rigorous. Be prepared to explain your projects in depth during the screenings and behaviorals. Be able to answer why you made X decision over Y. For the on-site, it will be in-person for an entire day (11am-7pm). It will require SQL (Leetcode mediums), an analytics exercise working through messy data with Python (be prepared to work fast, you can use AI tools), a written portion explaining how you would go about building certain models, and a final product sense interview. ”
“It is important to not get flustered during the case if you feel like you do not know something. Stay calm and collected. Take time to think before speaking. One of my interviewers was really nice and friendly. The other interviewer was not a friendly.”
“Technical interviews were mostly fine. 6 rounds, marathon-style. Did all interviews and was ghosted afterwards, no follow ups, no rejection emails, nothing.”
“The recruiter was really friendly and welcoming, the recruiter screen call is not a filter for rejecting candidates, it is just for checking out basic requirements, Tests was also fast paced and accuracy based, also it is good to have some good english vocabulary then it was the case round, it was a strategy case, had asked follow ups, but i was not prepared enough.”
“The process started with a recruiter screening testing some behavioral questions and some technical questions she read from a question bank. Then, I did a coding interview online. Finally, a 4 rounds loop online (as opposed to my previous attempt when I did the loop in one of their London (UK) offices): 2 coding interviews, 1 system design, 1 behavioral with an engineering manager.”
“The behaviorals were quite easy as they're pretty standard to any firm but what didn't go well was my lack of knowledge on the technical architecture”

“The weirdest Anthropic round was the company values interview. It was almost like a therapy session, and honestly if you went to a therapist at some point, you will pass that round much more easily.”
“What was very unusual is they didn’t give me any tooling to draw the system design, so I just sketched it on a piece of paper and talked them through it, then we got into this oddly deep debate about whether hover-over history should count as a recommendation signal.”
