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.
