Pros

The team in India has shown strong collaboration, making it easy to integrate and adapt quickly. You get to learn with the masters of domains, across the globe, which has been very rewarding. There are opportunities for professional development, like the Okta learning portal, Learning Hub, and Udemy. Compared to other companies, there is focus on individual QA responsibility for projects, which is different from the shared QA responsibilities I’ve experienced elsewhere. Collaboration within the India team has been effective. The training and resources available, including team coordination, have been instrumental in my success. One thing I’d highlight is the emphasis on individual project ownership, fostering a culture of personal responsibility, which is invaluable

Cons

Collaboration US team need some room for improvement Team is distributed across region which requires night time meetings few times Has to sync up with US manager separately to update the everyday activities

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.
