      Pros

      Great culture Florishing stock Treats employees well No meeting Thursdays Friendly and skilled engineers Events and hackathons Compensation is great Managers and amazing, no micro management

      Cons

      Monolithic codebase executed very poorly Very little attention given to proper infrastructure choices Sales driven "Band-Aid" solutions are encouraged Very little room for self improvement A huge chunk of time is wasted waiting for builds and dealing with merging code into production Very risk-adverse. Moonshot projects are nonexistent on most teams, but are encouraged to be done in two day hackathons

      Antiquated tech and process

      Pros

      My coworkers were friendly and supportive. No-meetings are allowed to be scheduled on Thursdays and it's a company-wide WFH day. Decent comp package.

      Cons

      The tech stack is a joke; monolithic Java stack, and Chef-based deployments. The process around planning is so heavy when it came to monthly and weekly sprint planning that I felt like I was constantly in meetings. Okta has a "Technical Program Management" that is basically a team of glorified Scrum Masters where the majority of them are non-technical. Okta felt like a rest and vest sort of company where I can't fathom why anyone wishing to grow their technical skills would even entertain wanting to work there. Okta is also a very "email heavy" culture.
