Okta Sales Development Representative Interview Questions
& Process

I sent in my resume online and got an email from a recruiter named Jenn a couple days later asking for a call. I tried to engage her, but she just kind of brushed me off. She even scoffed at one of my answers and said Okta uses a much more advanced method. It felt like the call went really bad, but I still followed up asking for feedback, which I always do. About three months passed and I never heard back. After I got my current job, another recruiter from Okta contacted me on LinkedIn, but I wasn't interested.

This interview process was very unprofessional and disrespectful. First, I spoke with a recruiter and that conversation went well. They really hyped up the position and the team, and the sales development manager. Then, I spoke with the sales development manager, and it was the complete opposite. There was a lot of background noise, making it hard to hear, and they sounded like they were hungover. They had no energy or enthusiasm for the job. The questions they asked were all over the place and not structured at all. They were even having other conversations while talking to me. It was very uncomfortable. I never got any feedback after the call. The pay is also a bit below average for the industry.

I had a great experience with the recruiter, they explained the process really well. I had a bunch of really good talks with people across the Sales team at different levels. I got to learn a lot about the company, what it's like to work there, the role, and where the company is headed. They gave me good feedback after my final presentation and mock call, but I didn't end up getting the job because there were candidates who were a better fit.
