Pros

- great collaboration between ops, engineering, and QA. Makes it easy to get stuff done - minimal politics at the engineering level - great culture, smart and friendly coworkers with no egos to get in the way - pretty easy to shift between teams if you get bored or want to work on different skills - lenient PTO and work from home policies - fantastic support from upper management - very successful product and the company is going somewhere

Cons

- middling benefits (no 401k matching, no gym memberships, etc.) - heavyweights are starting to enter the field - rapid growth leads to more work than people at times

Pros

Some people are very down to earth and make coming to the office worth it. Other than that, being an employee here nowadays is an absolute joke.

Cons

Peak toxicity coming from management. Most people here suck other than the few that are real people and not corporate “sherpa” robots. The company culture has grown more and more toxic as the days go on and product demand has slowed down. I would not work here unless it was absolutely life or death. STAY AWAY PLEASE. Go work for some AI startup or some founding role at a cool company that will value your skills and not just treat you as a number. Okta is not what Okta used to be.
