Pros

The culture all cascades down from the top leadership, which I think is great–they're really focused on doing the right things for the right reasons and very transparent with the company which I found refreshing and honest. I'm glad to have worked for a company that really cares for their people and their community giving/volunteer programs as well as employee training. • Benefits and perks are good • Smart people • Interesting industry

Cons

While most people there are great, Okta's not immune to a few bad apples. Unfortunately, a few key players (2 of my 4 previous managers, to be specific) were/are inept and poor leaders ruining team morale. I think, for the most part, if you're in most of the other teams, you'll find happy and smart people all hustling and working together as well as you can expect from a largish company. It's still the wild west internally: • They're still trying to figure out how to manage people • Building processes to baseline efficiency • Still learning how to effectively manage remote employees • Egos of some of the leadership • Less-than-ideal hiring choices

Pros

Great Benefits. Fantastic product. Company is scaling (or at least trying to).

Cons

Management and company culture has grown toxic. Extremely political and dramatic. Specifically in sales, marketing, and the C-Suite. I wouldn’t recommend joining okta unless you are some type of director or above and also remote. SF just RTO’d and it’s been miserable.
