Pros

good brand, market leader and remote culture

Cons

many good people have left, there's a ton of managers who aren't good enough leaders to attract and retain great talent, processes and standards get reinvented every year, we waste so much time with loose operations, limited career growth for rockstars stuck under too much middle management or between too many re-orgs.

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.
