      Be very careful when looking at a sales job here

      Pros

      The company technology is incredible and very impactful to customers. It just works!

      Cons

      This Fiscal Year sales territories were cut in half, at a minimum, and quotes went up over 35%. Every RSM has the same quote no matter if they have SLED or Named Accounts which is extremely unfair and, quite frankly, lazy. I still have friends there in sales and I feel sorry for them.

      Great company and leadership, not so great managers and recognition culture

      Product manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Culture - set very well by the founders and CEO Product Customers Stock! Growth

      Cons

      Career progression is unclear and no clear answer on promotion criteria Recognition isn’t given to those putting in a lot of effort Managers are new and making all their reports start their from scratch Those who are outspoken get more recognition, the managers don’t take the time to find out the truth of who’s doing what Managers throw problems back instead of helping manage escalations and conflicts

      Potential to become one of the SV greats

      Pros

      Okta is solving a hard problem. There are many other companies in this space that are not as big and as successful as Okta. So its fun to work on that problem and helping define the market. Everyone is smart, helpful, has a great growth culture/mindset. If you are early/late in your career, you will learn a lot and add a great bit to your resume. The co-founders (Todd and Freddy) are incredible and genuine leaders. They are a great manifestation of "lead by example."

      Cons

      Depending on the department, it can be pretty top heavy with a ton of management hierarchy. This really does suck. I think there are intentions to be transparent but it's poorly handled. There are also many people managers who are first-time managers because of how fast Okta grew - they are also learning this as they go and sometimes it doesn't work out too well.
