Colloquio
To begin with, if Okta folks are reading this, you guys need to be highly highly ashamed of yourself for wasting precious time of people. Really, if there was a BBB of companies then I would opened a claim against you guys.
I was contacted by a recruiter through linkedin as I had applied for this job through linkedin itself. I spoke with the recruiter at length and I was never apprised about the fact that sales experience is a must for this job. I was put through 4 interviews over the phone. The first one was technical, next two were highly non technical and then there was kind of technical interview with 2 tech questions on saml and OIDC only. That person was in a rush. One of the interviewers who happened to be a director or something did tell me that this job needs a sales experience. However, I'll be shadowing someone before they put me in to the clients' den. The last phone interview was with their VP who had no clue as to what she was talking about. She tells me that I don't have sales experience so I am not a good fit for this job. I asked her why would recruiter and other interviewers not bring up that point. She had no answer to that and said that she would let recruiter know to consider me for a tech consultant job. No thank you mam was my answer. I asked her questions like "who fix bugs in okta software and who makes enhancements". He answer to this question was, "we don't write software, we sell software". Yes I know that but who fixes it when there is a bug etc. She goes "architects do". Kudos to the VP of the company. Then I emailed their recruiter and asked him as to why he won't tell me that prior sales experience was a must to have for this job. He didn't reply at all. How unprofessional is that ? He emails me on a separate thread that his VP wants him to consider me for a tech consultant role. My question was still the same as before and he never replied. All in all, this company is full of unethical people from the kind of impression i got from the interview process.
