Pros

Get to work with really smart people. The company will take as much of your time as you are willing to give but often people work long hours because they want to, not because you are forced to. No on call duty for engineers. Lots of transparency from exec team.

Cons

Still considered a start up so generally it means less pay but made up by having a well stocked kitchen and other perks. Unfortunately the kitchen doesn't offer nearly the variety other tech startups. Few perks offered. Operates like a big company: lots of meetings and protocols to follow.

Pros

Okta is a place full of hard working and sincere people. Everyone around here works extremely hard and takes their jobs seriously. The appreciation and treatment of the company towards their employees is exemplary. Your contributions are always recognized. Not to forget the great company culture where there is transparency & management is always open for ideas.

Cons

- No free parking in the city. The garages nearby cost $10-$15/day - Too much awesomeness to handle :)

Pros

Fast moving, awesome people, awesome product, great work environment. Everyone here (all depts.) from what I've seen really works hard. But the company treats us really well, and in the end that makes it all worth it. The appreciation that is shown to every single person here is not something that's rare or seldom seen. It's constant and it's in the culture. Okta points out everyones contributions. This is not a company that focuses on the negative.

Cons

Not much to say as far as "Cons"....I honestly don't see anything I can point out. It's a startup and like all startups, a lot of internal policy os being built as we move full speed ahead. So that's expected really. This company is not 20 years old (yet), a lot of foundation is being laid as we work, but everyone here contributes to it. So is that a "Con"? I don't think that qualifies as such.
