      Pros

      Generous benefits package. Unlimited PTO. Fairly competitive salaries. Monetary increases are pretty standard... 1-3% plus potential bonuses, etc. Salaries are not pro-rated based on geographical location. Restricted Stock Options (RSU) and Stock Purchase Program available. Employees can typically choose their location to work (in-office, hybrid, remote). A lot of internal social groups (ie Women of Okta, People of Color, etc.). Free training to become Okta certified. For those who go in to the office, plenty of snacks and beverages. There's even a 21+ "Speak Easy". Certain days of the week are catered.

      Cons

      Management is constantly shifting staff and org chart. Advancement milestones and requirements shift with each new manager. Promotions are promised but do not come to fruition. Many employees have been at Okta for several years and never see a promotion but new hires tend to be fast tracked into Sr. roles despite lacking the necessary skillset. Peer review process is somewhat skewed, subjective, and sometimes non-applicable (ie managers asking you to peer review someone you've never interacted or worked with). No consistent performance review process. You can work at Okta for years with a solid track record and a new manager can come in and give you a poor performance review and no one (upper management, HR, etc.) will question the sudden change in review outcome.
