Pros

Been working here over a year. Good company with a nice ability to pull in the big guns when working with the challenging enterprise clients. Quarterly Sales targets are very aggressive but I do understand why. Overall generally pleased with the people i work with.

Cons

Good to avoid pulling in all the new people from the same company, i have seen this happening especially with specific groups. Sometimes when mid and upper management comes in from a previous company you get the negative aspects of that other companies dynamic which can impact those who are below them. Otherwise the hiring and promoting within is pretty good.

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.
