Pros

It's sad to see so many bad reviews on the sales team. However, from the engineering side, it's probably one of the best jobs I ever had. The CEO, Todd, puts money where his mouth is. Last year when the stocks tanked, Todd didn't take any bonuses and minimized the number of people to be laid off. Pros: - good work-life balance - engineers treat each other with respect - a great team with good learning opportunities - manager is amazing at making sure you have everything you need - engineers are brilliant, and smart and don't hesitate to help whenever it's needed - good pay and great benefits

Cons

- stock is not doing well :(

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.
