Pros

Young and energetic staff, some very smart folks, and a very sharp CEO.

Cons

Previous Chief Customer Officer was a narcissist that played favorites, couldn't stand her people outshining her, and when she left, she put her boot-licking toady in charge - Okta is now at a 52 week low, which is the chickens coming home to roost. Glad I'm out of that organization...

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
