Pros

PTO policy is great.

Cons

It's not the same company it was 4 years ago. The culture is far worse and pressure from mgt is off the charts. It was trendy and cool to work at Okta but all that has changed. It will see a mass exodus of good people soon. No potential for advancement at all. It's a dead end job.

Pros

- Great product and the leader in the market - Large amount of enterprise customers to reference - Full confidence that this company will go public - Clear executive plan on how to get to a position to IPO - Great Executive leadership with Todd and Freddy - Lot's of smart people here that are very good at what they do

Cons

- Scaling the company has lead to many problems that have been amplified over time and has caused what culture we had to deteriorate - Lack of strong leadership in certain departments and very unorganized processes - No managerial review process/forum for employees - Performance reviews and evaluations either don't happen or happen months after they needed to occur
