Pros

Great people and good cooperation amongst cross-functional team. Solid products and great customer service.

Cons

Too many senior leadership changes. New GTM leader, CRO, 2 CMO's, 2 CFO's, and new CTO. Todd and Freddie have let the new leadership, specifically the GTM leadership, destroy what use to be a great culture. Okta used to be a company that valued employees, now they treat them like a commodity. There has been a significant drain of very talented employees due to the changing culture. Merger with Auth0 was handled very poorly.

Pros

Good company benefits - private healthcare, employee stock purchase programme Annual sales kickoff

Cons

All calls & emails are now monitored. Graded & tracked on your calls. New requirement is now to have 50+ calls a month recorded in Gong (Gong was previously phased out but now a requirement). Pay rises are low, false promises each year of promotions & generous pay rises Team members favoured over others Work life balance now near on impossible with all the new asks put in place
