I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Okta (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2013
Interview
Phone screen from recruiting, phone screen from technical engineer with coding problem.
The in person interview consisted of 5, 1-hour meetings. Specific topics were test methodologies (mocks/stubs, advantages and disadvantages to strategies), OO design, algorithm design, and overview of technical systems integrated with release processes.
Challenges were around algorithm questions while ensuring that they were well tested, with example values.

Question 1
Overview of mocks versus stubs, with specific explanations on how they are implemented and integration examples. Interviewer was looking for a detailed overview on how the two are different and where you would use them.
