Pros

The company itself was Great, Weekly CIO meetings. Mostly positive atmosphere. A bit chaotic. It you were in a good group life was good at Okta.

Cons

The politics prevented me from being able to work to my.potential since there seemed to be insecurity from the leaders regarding letting someone running a program or even having their own staff make a decision while they were gone. I was unlucky to be stuck supporting fearful uncooperative managers. Some of them would talk behind your back or even lie. Very strange.

Pros

A dynamic, fast-paced environment driven by top-tier talent and a deeply collaborative culture. The company successfully combines a high-growth startup mindset with agile execution, fostering continuous innovation and cross-functional support.

Cons

Like many publicly traded SaaS companies, Okta has aggressive revenue targets. Employees in sales, account management, and customer success frequently note that quotas are demanding, territories can change unexpectedly during annual restructuring, and pressure to expand accounts can lead to burnout.
