Pros

I worked hard to get hired at Okta and turned down several other offers and I am so glad I did! Okta has a great culture and the teamwork is fantastic. The fast growth is fun and changing an entire market is an exciting experience. Todd and Freddy lead by example and are more engaged and accessible than any other CEO and COO I've worked for in the past at any size company. I have seen multiple people be promoted within months of joining Okta, no limit on the career upside!

Cons

Okta is not for everyone. One needs to think about their ability to add value, make an immediate impact and deliver results. If you don't have the desire to work very hard, and enjoy doing so, then you will likely be happier working elsewhere.

Pros

Some people are very down to earth and make coming to the office worth it. Other than that, being an employee here nowadays is an absolute joke.

Cons

Peak toxicity coming from management. Most people here suck other than the few that are real people and not corporate “sherpa” robots. The company culture has grown more and more toxic as the days go on and product demand has slowed down. I would not work here unless it was absolutely life or death. STAY AWAY PLEASE. Go work for some AI startup or some founding role at a cool company that will value your skills and not just treat you as a number. Okta is not what Okta used to be.
