Pros

-I can easily say that working at Okta has changed my life for the better. Not only is it an amazing place to work (with top tier coworkers), but i am constantly challenged and have advanced my career/skillset significantly by investing in Okta's vision. -The products are top notch and the business is growing rapidly. -In today's crazy world, it is refreshing to have a team of upper management that care so deeply about gender equality, diversity, charity and making everyone feel like they are home at Okta. You can tell that they want to build a community, not just a business. -Free food and infinite snacks Joining Okta was easily the best career decision i've made to date.

Cons

Okta has a work hard/play hard culture to a degree. That could be a good or bad thing depending on your mindset and ambition. The talent is on par with your Google and Apples of the world, and so i'd expect nothing less. Come here if you want to learn from the best, stay if you want to be the best.

Pros

Some people are very down to earth and make coming to the office worth it. Other than that, being an employee here nowadays is an absolute joke.

Cons

Peak toxicity coming from management. Most people here suck other than the few that are real people and not corporate “sherpa” robots. The company culture has grown more and more toxic as the days go on and product demand has slowed down. I would not work here unless it was absolutely life or death. STAY AWAY PLEASE. Go work for some AI startup or some founding role at a cool company that will value your skills and not just treat you as a number. Okta is not what Okta used to be.
