Pros

I have been in tech for 15 years in tech at companies like Sun Microsystems and I have to say that it is by far the best company on almost every count - valuing the opinion of employees - walk the talk when it comes to culture. - My managers really care about coaching me - if you are good rewards will follow - a ton of learning. Technical achievements are celebrated. - Amazingly talented people - our interview process is amazingly good at filtering out people who would not be a good team/company fit, and won't pull their weight when it comes to technical contributions.

Cons

- I miss an onsite gym but I know we will get there soon with Okta-Fit program expanding its charter.

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.
