Pros

- The People: I LOVE the people I work for and work with. No nonsense, friendly and hardworking. Everyone is always putting in 200%. - Great benefits, dry cleaning, massages, etc. - Working for Okta has been the single best move of my career to date. In my over 2 years here, I have never been so happy. I am honestly excited to come to work each day, be with my team and tackle all of the things that need to be done. I have learned more here than is all my years in the industry and it is amazing to be respected and treated well. - Flexible about working from home or remotely if needed

Cons

- This is not a 9 to 5 job or a place to coast. We work insanely hard. - Work life balance can be hard and I work 80 hour weeks frequently. I love what I do and enjoy the extra work, but that is not for everyone. - Really with we had 401k Match and a health/gym program - There are pains since growing we are so fast, which can be frustrating at times.

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
