Pros

Global org, so you'll get to travel every now and then to the US. However, this will change over a couple months.

Cons

Toxic, locally and globally. EZveryone's perpetually scared on when they could be laid off. Managers are mere puppets here and run on the orders from US. No autonomy. The hiring team will give you a rosy picture, but if you ask more, they're horrible liars. Save yourself, run while you can.

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.
