A Place for the Best of the Best

Pros

Okta isn't easy. It's a place for proven professionals and innovators who want to be challenged. You have to be hungry to be here. The folks who come on Glassdoor and complain about management (instead of having a meaningful dialog with their managers), complain about the stress, the fact that they have to walk a half mile to the BART, or whine about the free food weren't cut out for the type of advanced employee-ownership that successful start-ups like Okta demand. They weren't right for Okta -- some of them have left, and that's a good thing. Not everyone makes the cut for the Navy SEALS either. If you're hungry and want to be a champion, then we want you!

Cons

We need to keep our eyes on the ball and don't let the drama of a few who don't have the intestinal fortitude to hack it here distract us.

Pros

You will work with some of the smartest, hard-working teams. There is respect among the teams. Offices are great and only going to improve. Food offering is generous and with plenty of healthy selections.

Cons

It very hard to be recognized as hard-worker as everything gets swept under their review process that never happens on time... many times 6+ months after your review was due. Communication between managers and HR lacks but hopefully this will improve soon and save some good people from leaving.

Pros

It has a flexible environment, that allows for professional growth. I enjoy working remotely, it allows me to have a work/life balance.

Cons

It can be a very, high stress, high output place to work. You are only as good as your next success.
