Pros

Fantastic working culture, lots of freedom to do the sales job. Very good pay for entry job. Great colleagues, good benefits, stock options, the whole 9 yards

Cons

Job enjoyment can sometimes be dependant on managers. My manager was not micro-managey at all - some may be more focused on calls / day but your mileage may vary.

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.
