Pros

Most of the people in Engineering are smart, talented and hard working. At the same time, egos are at a minimum and good ideas are always appreciated. I like that most of the Engineering managers are quite technical and very approachable right up to the CTO. Unlike the typical enterprise company, we are very fast-paced and believe in continuous delivery. Product management works very well with development to implement and release features. Okta is a great place for career growth, where the company believes in promoting from within. As a person at a relatively early stage of my career, Okta has been a great place for me personally to be mentored by some really awesome engineers and given a high level of responsibility. From a bigger company perspective, Okta believes in transparency and everyone imbibes this value. Our weekly all-hands hosted by our CEO/COO gives us a perspective into what is happening in other areas of the company like sales, marketing and other executive updates. The business is doing well and spreading across the globe and I see us growing really fast in the next couple of years. We have a lot of fun as well with a soccer team, themed happy hours(kegs on all floors), ping pong, Fancy Fridays etc.

Cons

While the engineering management is generally very perceptive and efficient, engineers have to be some times be a little assertive for their voices to be heard. However, I can attest to that fact that once you voice your opinions, changes/improvements happen very rapidly.

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.
