Pros

Fast moving, awesome people, awesome product, great work environment. Everyone here (all depts.) from what I've seen really works hard. But the company treats us really well, and in the end that makes it all worth it. The appreciation that is shown to every single person here is not something that's rare or seldom seen. It's constant and it's in the culture. Okta points out everyones contributions. This is not a company that focuses on the negative.

Cons

Not much to say as far as "Cons"....I honestly don't see anything I can point out. It's a startup and like all startups, a lot of internal policy os being built as we move full speed ahead. So that's expected really. This company is not 20 years old (yet), a lot of foundation is being laid as we work, but everyone here contributes to it. So is that a "Con"? I don't think that qualifies as such.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
