Pros

I have been with Okta for 2 years as part of Customer Success organization. This is by far the best company I have ever worked for and I had worked for 3 other large software and consulting companies prior to joining Okta. People are smart, passionate and driven. I get up every morning knowing that I will be learning something new from Okta, our amazing customers and my colleagues. Our customers love us and continue to challenge us to develop the best IDM products on the market. Our CEO, Todd McKinnon is honest, transparent and a super sharp guy with a great sense of humor. I have been given opportunities to build a strong team and implement new ideas - I was never told 'no' or 'that's impossible'. This is the only company I have worked for that is truly customer focused. We drop everything when a customer is in trouble and we are always honest with them in regards to how we operate and admit to faults when we made mistakes. I have the highest respect for this company and our CEO.

Cons

Can't really think of any. I know many complained about 401k but you knew about this when you joined the company so why would this be a negative thing - Okta disclosed everything so it was your responsibility to weigh out the pros/cons before accepting that offer!

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
