Pros

Okta has a fast-paced environment full of smart people. The majority are high performers, working hard to make a great product. Hard work is rewarded. The pay is good; the benefits are good. The management is very candid with the employees. They trust employees to make good decisions, giving us a lot of freedom to excel.

Cons

If you want to coast or can't keep up, I imagine this would be a frustrating place to work. The freedom that employees get also means that you are given enough rope to hang yourself with.

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.
