Had plenty of calls with HR, Hiring Manager and other colleagues.
After the first call with Hiring Manager I got lots of informations about his job, but he didn’t ask me, what I‘m doing right now.
The other calls were quite interesting and I got many tips and tricks for my SE presentation.
The feedback for my presentation was, they didn’t feel it.
I really just tried to use all tips and tricks, but it was not „natural“, the Hiring Manager told me.
Okta is a really interesting product and has lots of room to expand.
Unfortunately I wasn’t the right SE for them.
I wish they would have said it early and not wasted three month of my time.

Entrevista
There were total of 4 steps in the interview process.
- HR Screening 30 mins
- SE Director 30 mins
- SE Manager 30 mins
- Product Demo & Presentation 1 hr
A pdf guidance was given for the demo which I made sure to follow strictly. The feedback was that my demo did not focus on features and functions, which in today's world is essentially a taboo to be going the way of product-selling route.
This sort of feedback convinced me to have not met their expectations and that it is a good thing I did not. They need to up their game and shift more towards solition-selling motion if scaling their business is a thing for them.
