Pros

Great company to work for. People at top management know exactly what they are doing and sophisticated. They are investing in right areas and short /long term looks exciting. Although Okta is positioned well, it will be interesting to see next few years with competition from other big players. Solid board members !

Cons

More people now, so hard to remember names and see little bit of bureaucracy trickling in some parts, which is ought to happen. Lost little bit of transparency from last 8/9 months
