Pros

-I can easily say that working at Okta has changed my life for the better. Not only is it an amazing place to work (with top tier coworkers), but i am constantly challenged and have advanced my career/skillset significantly by investing in Okta's vision. -The products are top notch and the business is growing rapidly. -In today's crazy world, it is refreshing to have a team of upper management that care so deeply about gender equality, diversity, charity and making everyone feel like they are home at Okta. You can tell that they want to build a community, not just a business. -Free food and infinite snacks Joining Okta was easily the best career decision i've made to date.

Cons

Okta has a work hard/play hard culture to a degree. That could be a good or bad thing depending on your mindset and ambition. The talent is on par with your Google and Apples of the world, and so i'd expect nothing less. Come here if you want to learn from the best, stay if you want to be the best.

Pros

I think upper management is pretty straightforward and open. If you like working with very smart and talented people, they are here. If you want the kind of opportunities that become available from rapid growth, they are here. If you need something, you can get it if you make your case. If you like seeing a problem, suggesting a solution, and given the freedom to implement it, this place if for you. Not a lot of politics as far as I can tell.

Cons

Inter-division visibility and collaboration is a huge challenge. Culturally, it is a little bit bland. It is tough to find the information you need when you need it. The email firehose.

Pros

I have been working at Okta for year and a half. Its been an amazing experience. The best thing I love about Okta is that there is a lot of opportunity for growth for fresh engineers. You are gonna learn so much and its going to build a solid foundation for your future. Colleagues are cooperative and set achievable goals for you in each sprint. We are agile so you get a perfect balance between development and testing environments. It offers a great work life balance. If you do your work right and keep everyone happy, you can take as many holidays as you want. I love Okta and Im loving it more the more I stay with it.

Cons

Honestly there are no cons of working at Okta. Management is transparent enough and tells you everything that you as an employee need to know, good or bad.
