Pros

I have been with Okta for 2 years as part of Customer Success organization. This is by far the best company I have ever worked for and I had worked for 3 other large software and consulting companies prior to joining Okta. People are smart, passionate and driven. I get up every morning knowing that I will be learning something new from Okta, our amazing customers and my colleagues. Our customers love us and continue to challenge us to develop the best IDM products on the market. Our CEO, Todd McKinnon is honest, transparent and a super sharp guy with a great sense of humor. I have been given opportunities to build a strong team and implement new ideas - I was never told 'no' or 'that's impossible'. This is the only company I have worked for that is truly customer focused. We drop everything when a customer is in trouble and we are always honest with them in regards to how we operate and admit to faults when we made mistakes. I have the highest respect for this company and our CEO.

Cons

Can't really think of any. I know many complained about 401k but you knew about this when you joined the company so why would this be a negative thing - Okta disclosed everything so it was your responsibility to weigh out the pros/cons before accepting that offer!

Pros

A dynamic, fast-paced environment driven by top-tier talent and a deeply collaborative culture. The company successfully combines a high-growth startup mindset with agile execution, fostering continuous innovation and cross-functional support.

Cons

Like many publicly traded SaaS companies, Okta has aggressive revenue targets. Employees in sales, account management, and customer success frequently note that quotas are demanding, territories can change unexpectedly during annual restructuring, and pressure to expand accounts can lead to burnout.

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.
