Pros

At Okta, you have the rare opportunity to work for a product leader in a rapidly growing market. The drive to execute that vision is not easy. Competition is fierce and being the leader means you're in everyone's crosshairs. Inherently, that position comes with change and with change you either learn, adapt and push forward or you don't and move on. Recent reviews here would suggest a dramatic turn of events impacting culture, work life balance and overall job satisfaction. I believe the opposite to be true. I'd say that recent reviews are the direct result of the controversy and challenges that surrounded those who are no longer here. Their exit, while painful for some, ultimately has enabled impacted groups to move forward. Okta is led by exceptionally competent leaders. Todd is very down to Earth and very transparent about what is working and what’s not. He has a vision and we continue to execute on it. The passion for customer success is broadly felt. There are the other perks, food, lunch M/W/F, beer. Like so much in life, working at Okta is what you make it. If you thrive on pushing yourself, want to have some fun while doing it, enjoy competing in a difficult market and want to invest in a platform and product you believe in, you’ll do fantastic here!

Cons

Rapid change has clearly been tough for some. Other than that, the cons I can think of are few. Better rotation on snacks perhaps? It will be nice when the two buildings are connected.

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.
