Pros

- Remote friendly although this seems to be changing - Ok comp - Literally nothing else

Cons

- Totally incompetent leadership, especially Todd - Way too much middle management for a company of it's size - Heavy blame and PiP culture - Cliquey culture. Very clear "in" and "out" group - Very limited career growth opportunities - Incoherent and disjointed product, marketing, and communications strategy - It's a growth company that's completely stagnated. It continues to be surpassed by startups and other larger security providers who release features/product way quicker - Marketing org is very toxic and political - Okta is full of yes people who refuse to experiment and try anything new. Good luck presenting any new ideas with out getting immediately shot down - Hostile and antagonistic organizational structure. There's a strong divide between Workforce Cloud (WIC) and Customer Cloud (CIC). Both sides of the business actively work against each other and their goals which severely limits its overall growth
