Pros

Okta has a great product that customers love! No doubt about that. Great and authentic CEO. Pay and benefits are overall ok and within industry standards, but be aware there is massive tightening on this front.

Cons

Exec Turnover is massive (CMO, CRO, President, General Counsel) and it's hard to ignore. Talent overall is average. The Auth0 acquisition, by all accounts, was a big miss. Culture is getting worse by the day.

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.
