Pros

Okta exists in a in demand and upcoming field. Agile R&D. Big name customers. Seems very attractive on the outside.

Cons

Almost no work life balance. Too many changes in management. I have had 4 bosses year to date. Mid level managers are clueless about how to run a professional services organization. Overall lack of support, training, and decent management for field based employees. Way too focused on the IPO and not focused enough on the basics. Does not value employees! Do not believe the hype. Management never responded to emails or escalations. Too many benefits for San Francisco employees vs field based employees.

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.
