Pros

Enjoy working with my coworkers and my manager is the most supportive and protective manager I've ever had in my life. She makes everything better and worth it. Work life balance is also appreciated and encouraged. Easy-going atmosphere to work in, remote or not.

Cons

CEO is kind of lost. Company direction is chaotic. Benefit is so so, not competative. Upper management really don't know how to execute strategies. Product team works hard but there are still a lot of simple things that could have been done already but haven't been. Opportunity for advancement not great at all. They love to bring in outside people with their old friends tagged along. Also not a very diverse management team. Very white.

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.
