Pros

Been working here over a year. Good company with a nice ability to pull in the big guns when working with the challenging enterprise clients. Quarterly Sales targets are very aggressive but I do understand why. Overall generally pleased with the people i work with.

Cons

Good to avoid pulling in all the new people from the same company, i have seen this happening especially with specific groups. Sometimes when mid and upper management comes in from a previous company you get the negative aspects of that other companies dynamic which can impact those who are below them. Otherwise the hiring and promoting within is pretty good.

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.
