Pros

The product is obviously industry leading. The office has many perks and smiling faces, and many of the senior execs I've met are incredibly down to earth and good-humored.

Cons

Okta tends to throw ill-conceived surveys at you in an attempt to figure out how they can help improve your job, then they misinterpret the results by concocting an almost insulting solution. In our team, I have seen external hires start at a higher salary and job title than people with long tenure, for no explicable reason -- these folks often struggle with onboarding and lean heavily upon their lower ranked/salaried peers for several months. I have observed this not being so great for morale, and rumors run amok that there is cronyism and nepotism from various managers. There is evident supporting this should leadership choose to look.

Pros

Nothing to complain about company wise.

Cons

After working at Okta for a few years I decided to leave in pursuit of a better opportunity. A couple of months after leaving I decided to check the salesforce app on my phone and to my absolute amazement, I still had an active salesforce account at okta and was still logged in. As an ex-employee, I was still able to look at all the sales reports, opportunities, and makes modifications! This was very surprising to me because it seems that a company that is focused on identity access management has failed to managed identity and access internally. I had access to my account (and still probably do) until I decided to logout and login with my current employer's salesforce credentials. Just wanted to put it out there.

Pros

Headquarters Products are top notch OKTA 17

Cons

They will bleed everything they can out of you Sales way over hired-and then the writing was on the wall even when you made your numbers After the IPO, quotas went insanely high with no baseline Marketing holds some great events, but sometimes they feel they are too young and scatter brained
