How it went
The interview process for the entry-level Product Manager role at Okta was rigorous, involving five rounds that assessed a range of skills including engineering fundamentals, product design, strategy, and leadership. Candidates were expected to demonstrate a thorough understanding of Okta's ecosystem, with a particular focus on the Okta Integration Network (OIN) and its technical aspects. This deep dive into Okta's specific product landscape made the interview more challenging than typical industry interviews.
