Pros

You gain exposure to an entire swathe of industry standards and products. It's among the best of the best, and you'll have the opportunity to see the whole underbelly of one of the biggest names in identity SaaS.

Cons

Thinking back on the layoff, the way they were initiated was outright cunning. Weeks before, they had us remove oAuth keys to company repositories citing that it was a "security" issue, even though most profiles were required to be linked to a verified okta email domain. On top of that, internal tools started to misbehave for what sounded like most people being let go. Rather than tell us outright, we woke up to cowardly emails telling us we'd been let go for dubious reasons. In typical corporate fashion, system tools had their access revoked remotely, and the computer was bricked at some point. We were invited to a Zoom meeting where they expressed how sorry they were and this, that, and the third. I could really feel the human connection as they read off their script. I think pitiful old me was playing in the background as well. I was practically in tears! Anyways, it's just another job at the end of the day. If you're looking for a "family" or any other buzzword, go see your own because you won't even find friends here. Have a good day and be well, reader!

Pros

Do you want to see pictures of your CRO’s vacation home? This is the place for you. Enjoy working with talented people who will recruit you to the place they just left to go to? Network quickly. Are you skilled in explaining product delays, you will get even better. Did you work for Splunk? If so, no interview needed, you’re hired! Like working on an island with no help? Okta has you covered. Want to watch Microsoft gain market share? Pull up a chair. Can you handle uninformed criticisms from management? Buckle up.

Cons

Todd is a good man who lost control of the company and culture almost overnight.
