Pros

Benefits, Product fit, People on an individual level are amazing, Innovation in the industry is top notch, Office events

Cons

Company spent a ludicrous amount on pointless things like 6 happy hours in a month,Trainings from third party sources, cutting software that assisted with role. View people as expendable, Overhire and churn to pump their numbers. laid off the leaders for our teams, two lay offs in the last year. Toxic middle management leadership leads to a boys club, more than one suit against Okta within the last year. Didn't even conduct interviews for SDR to AE promotion, unequal promotion process. Hiring freezes, changes in requirements for promotion.
