Pros

Good PTO and benefits but that is about it.

Cons

The Okta and directory team is not a bright team at all. I pulled these guys out of a big whole they dug themselves into by not knowing any form of automation language and trying to manage over 25k users and computers manually. Whole year I built solutions for which I never got credit for, the team, specifically the manager were intimidated by my skills so every time I did something amazing they took credit for it telling everyone else outside of the team that it was their idea and code but these guys were not able to write 2 lines of code themselves. No shame no intellect and the manager is complete idiot with no guts to learn something that way he can tell is his idea instead of stealing it away from somebody else.
