Pros

I've been a part of many tech companies and startups. I've loved them all (otherwise, why work there), but without a doubt my time at Okta has been the best part of my career. We are building a product that is tremendously impactful to our customers - they love our product and it genuinely makes their companies better - but we're also building a company that will have an impact for a long time to come. The culture at Okta is, in my opinion, what will help us make this impact. We have super talented people, but we do very well as a team because we're transparent, we have integrity, and we all care about the same thing - making our customers successful. I've been at the company since it was just a few dozen people (we're many hundreds strong now), and the growth of the company, and being a part of building it, has been very gratifying. But we're just scratching the surface of what we can do, and that is the one of the best things about Okta - we have much in front of us, and a huge opportunity.

Cons

What we're building is hard - we're critical infrastructure for our customers, and the company we're building is one that intends to win for a long time. That's not a con, necessarily, but it's something to consider. We're not building something flippant; we're building an important company. That takes a lot of dedication and focus. But why wouldn't you want to be part of something important?

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.
