Pros

- The company has a strong market presence, however, they are finding it increasingly difficult to compete with the likes of Microsoft, who offer an almost identical product at a fraction of the cost.

Cons

- Management Issues: There are widespread concerns about management in certain departments, where incompetent leaders have created a challenging and unsupportive work environment. Certain leaders appear invincible despite never hitting their own quota and being able to disappear during the last week of the quarter. - Unattainable quotas: Very few reps appear to get to their number. Ask during your interview, "What percentage of reps hit quota last qtr/year?". - Constant fear and uncertainty: Earlier this year, Okta cut almost 10% of their global workforce, almost one year after doing the same thing. Employees live in constant fear.

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.
