Pros

Fantastic solution stack, great TAM and almost recession-proof, relative to lot of what's going on in the SaaS marketplace right now. An amazing sales/lead funnel - certainly more buoyant than any other I've seen - and prospects/customers tend to want to talk with Okta, i.e. you're invariably pushing on an open door. Fast paced environment. Strong tech sale team. It's undoubtedly hard work.....and is certainly a 'high pressure / high reward' culture...but it's sales and ought to be expected.

Cons

Sub-optimal hiring means that there are still some victim-like individuals in the business and as a new hire I'm pretty sure it must be testing if you're thrown in to a team where your peers are exhibit this behaviour instead of acknowledging they need help/support and/or need to change. Enablement is patchy - but improving dramatically. Interim CRO is doing a great job filling some of these gaps.

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.
