Pros

People are very focused on doing what's best for clients. The teaming and care for clients was refreshing and awesome. Great internal growth- Never been at a company so committed to hiring internally.

Cons

Very technical sale, can be challenging for folks outside the industry to come into.

Thank you for your response. While Okta’s cutting edge technology can sometimes pose a steep learning curve for those outside the identity management industry, we are committed to attracting and retaining the best technology professionals possible. To help them become productive quickly, we offer in-depth training for sales and all employees quarterly (and sometimes more often), along with an online curriculum. Please reach out to any recruiter or the Sales Enablement team with any suggestions to enhance the program.

Pros

its very rare to find a company that truly brings out the best in you. Prior to OKTA I lacked purpose and clarity, I was in every sense of the word, just getting by. OKTA came along and now I know what it means to have passion for one's work. I probably have never worked this hard ever in my life but the funny part is that I'm truly enjoying it and want to do more.... The Pro's? everything! very lucky to be part of this company and this team

Cons

Working this hard can make life at home tricky, early calls and often working super late. Make sure the family at home is onboard, mine for example is well aware of the commitments and when the deals come through we celebrate ; )

It is exciting to be a part of a company that is transforming an industry, and we recognize that employees who are passionate about their work will often go above and beyond in their efforts for Okta. Understanding that building a company takes a significant commitment, we focus on helping our employees strike a balance between their work and home lives. We recently instituted a flexible time off policy, and strongly encourage our employees to take advantage of this time away from the office. And to help blow off steam at work, we have ping-pong tournaments, catered lunches and happy hours. We also provide all of our employees with an ownership stake in the company, so that everyone will be able to see the rewards of their hard work.

Pros

Market opportunity is huge. Team is world-class. Product is best in class. Customers are thrilled. The sky is the limit.

Cons

War for talent is aggressive, but we manage to hire the best and brightest. Office space crunch in SF means multiple locations.

The war for talent is aggressive, but because of the quality of our company, our solutions, our team and our market opportunity, we are proud of our success in attracting the best and the brightest in the industry. Employees are always our best source of new talent referrals, so be sure to tell our recruiting team about any colleagues you would like to see working at Okta. In terms of office space, we are evaluating our future space needs and are very focused on bringing the team together into one location.
