Pros

-Engineering has created a great culture where you can ask questions without fear of judgement -Never experienced any differential treatment as a female employee -Positivity and collaboration is normal and expected behavior -Career growth is amazing. Okta cares about its employees and wants them to be happy and succeed even if that means moving teams or changing roles -Everyone has weekly/biweekly 1-1s with their manager to address ups, downs, and career goals -A newly implemented mentorship program helps with new hires getting up to speed and integrated quickly

Cons

-Not all managers are created equal - long days and long night are normal (but on the upside, your time and effort is recognized and rewarded)

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
