Pros

-Most, if not all, managers at the company have a lot of trust in their team members and allow almost complete autonomy. You can work remote when needed, if you need to go take care of customer meetings, personal issues, no problem...etc. As long as you own your job and drive results, there's no micromanagers here at Okta. This was a huge draw for me when joining the company from a Big 4 consulting firm where you typically run your own projects and schedule. -They promote often and usually from within. In my time here I've seen many of my coworkers promoted within a year and rewarded for their hard work. -Recognition: I've never worked at a company that truly values recognizing people's accomplishments and contributions as much as Okta does. This comes in the form of quarterly and yearly rewards, as well as regular shoutouts at All Hands to commend hard work. It definitely fosters an environment where everyone wants to see their coworkers succeed. Bottom line: In my 9-10 year career I've never worked for a better company. Work hard, always strive to drive value both internally for your team and externally for the customers, and Okta is a place you'll be personally and professionally fulfilled all the while working alongside some outstanding people.

Cons

-No gym benefits. At least an amount towards a membership of your choosing each month would outstanding

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
