Pros

*SMART people - Okta hires people who have been there, done that, and can be thrown out there to figure it out successfully. I've work at several large companies and surprised to say that I've come across the smartest of peers here. *Great energy - people at Okta are truly passionate about the product. They work hard to ensure its success. It helps to work with people that are fun to be around with positive energy and enthusiasm to make the working hard part easy. *A product that really works - I'm proud to be part of a product company that puts so much focus on customer success. Okta makes sure that the customers are set up for success every step of the way. *Organizational transparency through communications

Cons

*Very much a physical presence type of company - I've worked for a lot of companies where it is easy and very acceptable to be remote but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I felt disconnected the rare times I would work remotely. *Employees more on the younger side - Most of the people are single or without kids so if you have kids and a lot of competing priorities, the culture makes it hard to juggle that at first. *No 401k match but the rest of the benefits are pretty good all around

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
