Pros

Stock price went up when I was working there.

Cons

his is the slowest moving company when it comes to decisions. When a decision is made, be prepared for management to change their mind at the last minute. Okta chooses less superior vendors to do business with to make a business connection and gloat about it...leaving the employees to deal with working with horrible products. IT is a disaster. Multiple requests into IT were never responded to, including IT management. It should not take IT 3 weeks to provision access to an Okta app after you get approval. This team is the epitome of lazy and has one of the poorest management teams I have ever seen. The IT management team needs to be gutted. Be ready for your managers to talk about you behind your back and share personal info and concerns from private meetings with your team.

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
