Pros

Technically, head & shoulders above everything else. Bringing the features of a huge IAM program to companies that can't pay millions to deploy the dinosaurs. Entire company is customer success driven and there's really not a lot of huge ego's which is surprising given the level intelligence here at Okta.

Cons

Well, if you're remote you don't get to experience much in the way of working for a startup in San Francisco which would be fun. Other than that, day one you're equipped with the tools you need and the training back at corp is top notch.

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.
