      Pros

      Is (or at least was) a category leader.

      Cons

      Culture of fear and paralysis. Fealty to CEO valued over performance, candor, work ethic. Company lacks culture or any cohesive set of values, and fails to "do the right thing" if doing so is not convenient. Example: I had to file litigation to collect on equity benefits I was entitled to under my employment contract. It took two years and thousands of dollars of attorneys' fees before I was ultimately victorious at trial - yes I had to literally take Okta all the way to a full jury trial to get what I was owed (which Okta tried to avoid on a technicality). Happily my 12-0 jury verdict took care of that. But wow,

      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
