Pros

i work on the auth0 side, which has a better culture afaik, and engineers are treated well in my experience. - my manager is very kind and chill - everyone on my team is treated like an adult - working alongside and learning from top engineering talent - getting exposed to cutting edge tech and product challenges at scale - weekly allhands and lots of demos so you learn a lot about the company and products. - hack culture (hackathons)

Cons

experience will largely depend on how critical your team's services are and how empathetic your manager and up are. past 2 years have had layoffs

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.
