      Pros

      Okta exists in a in demand and upcoming field. Agile R&D. Big name customers. Seems very attractive on the outside.

      Cons

      Almost no work life balance. Too many changes in management. I have had 4 bosses year to date. Mid level managers are clueless about how to run a professional services organization. Overall lack of support, training, and decent management for field based employees. Way too focused on the IPO and not focused enough on the basics. Does not value employees! Do not believe the hype. Management never responded to emails or escalations. Too many benefits for San Francisco employees vs field based employees.

      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
