Pros

- Good Culture - Lots of growth opportunities for the product - They care about employee well being - 401(k) matching added in 2022 - Nice centrally located offices in SF, Chicago, DC, and internationally

Cons

- Too many managers - Too much focus on SEs to manage the sales process (this started 4 months before I posted this review) - Compensation is far below market rates - The workforce is not really diverse. - There can be pay biases. Check with your team to see if you're making enough for your role.

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.
