Pros

The product is the best, hands down. Both okta and auth0 aren’t really rivaled. Decent pay, lots of events to go to, big network of people to meet, many of which are talented

Cons

Alot of employees are leaving, but SLT doesn’t seem to notice or acknowledge it. The go to market team messed up a lot of aspects of the acquisition, and they take a real “stay in your lane” stance on challenging opinions. The toughest part is that senior leadership is mostly all external hires, who have no pulse on the org and are just figureheads for what feels like corporate propaganda

Nice Facade but Structurally Unsound Foundation

Pros

There were a lot of other great colleagues, some nice benefits, and a few extra perks.

Cons

A structurally unsound structure with a nice coat of paint on it. The nice perks seen to be somewhat of a cover for major underlying issues. There is an apparent leadership vacuum at top levels, especially with recent exits. A relatively recent acquisition of another company has experienced notable integration issues. Core root causes of other various issues seem to continue to go unresolved. There was a lot of growth but insufficient planning to go with it. Recent layoffs severely hurt goodwill, were made with shortsighted thinking, all of which is a result of a string of decisions not made diligently. in addition, teams often work in silos and collaboration is a major challenge.
