Pros

Okta isn't easy. It's a place for proven professionals and innovators who want to be challenged. You have to be hungry to be here. The folks who come on Glassdoor and complain about management (instead of having a meaningful dialog with their managers), complain about the stress, the fact that they have to walk a half mile to the BART, or whine about the free food weren't cut out for the type of advanced employee-ownership that successful start-ups like Okta demand. They weren't right for Okta -- some of them have left, and that's a good thing. Not everyone makes the cut for the Navy SEALS either. If you're hungry and want to be a champion, then we want you!

Cons

We need to keep our eyes on the ball and don't let the drama of a few who don't have the intestinal fortitude to hack it here distract us.

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.
