Pros

-Most, if not all, managers at the company have a lot of trust in their team members and allow almost complete autonomy. You can work remote when needed, if you need to go take care of customer meetings, personal issues, no problem...etc. As long as you own your job and drive results, there's no micromanagers here at Okta. This was a huge draw for me when joining the company from a Big 4 consulting firm where you typically run your own projects and schedule. -They promote often and usually from within. In my time here I've seen many of my coworkers promoted within a year and rewarded for their hard work. -Recognition: I've never worked at a company that truly values recognizing people's accomplishments and contributions as much as Okta does. This comes in the form of quarterly and yearly rewards, as well as regular shoutouts at All Hands to commend hard work. It definitely fosters an environment where everyone wants to see their coworkers succeed. Bottom line: In my 9-10 year career I've never worked for a better company. Work hard, always strive to drive value both internally for your team and externally for the customers, and Okta is a place you'll be personally and professionally fulfilled all the while working alongside some outstanding people.

Cons

-No gym benefits. At least an amount towards a membership of your choosing each month would outstanding

Pros

Okta has a fast-paced environment full of smart people. The majority are high performers, working hard to make a great product. Hard work is rewarded. The pay is good; the benefits are good. The management is very candid with the employees. They trust employees to make good decisions, giving us a lot of freedom to excel.

Cons

If you want to coast or can't keep up, I imagine this would be a frustrating place to work. The freedom that employees get also means that you are given enough rope to hang yourself with.
