Pros

Stock price went up when I was working there.

Cons

his is the slowest moving company when it comes to decisions. When a decision is made, be prepared for management to change their mind at the last minute. Okta chooses less superior vendors to do business with to make a business connection and gloat about it...leaving the employees to deal with working with horrible products. IT is a disaster. Multiple requests into IT were never responded to, including IT management. It should not take IT 3 weeks to provision access to an Okta app after you get approval. This team is the epitome of lazy and has one of the poorest management teams I have ever seen. The IT management team needs to be gutted. Be ready for your managers to talk about you behind your back and share personal info and concerns from private meetings with your team.

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.
