Pros

Fairly recently joined and have been welcomed with open arms, everyone very keen to meet and share their experience and offer help and advice - this spans across all levels of the organisation. Love the openness of the culture with weekly all hands meetings with the US and insightful updates from CEO's and rest of leadership team on our position and opportunity. EU team all great fun and very engaged about whats next. Lots of social events to attend. Everyone I have met all knows what we are looking to achieve, where we are going, and how they fit into the bigger picture - to know my impact is hugely important. Tonnes of opportunity with the pace of growth and alot of breadth to my role.

Cons

Still stuff to fix but thats part of the fun for some people!

Pros

A dynamic, fast-paced environment driven by top-tier talent and a deeply collaborative culture. The company successfully combines a high-growth startup mindset with agile execution, fostering continuous innovation and cross-functional support.

Cons

Like many publicly traded SaaS companies, Okta has aggressive revenue targets. Employees in sales, account management, and customer success frequently note that quotas are demanding, territories can change unexpectedly during annual restructuring, and pressure to expand accounts can lead to burnout.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
