Pros

1. Culture - One of the best cultures in the Valley. I have worked at several companies the past few years and none of them compare to Okta. The management team leads by example. 2. Transparency - Executive Management does a great job letting the employees know the state of the business. I could not ask for more. 3. Compensation & benefits - I came from a large company and I found that the benefits were either equal to or better at Okta. 4. Management team - A great management team makes a big difference in job satisfaction. I think the management team is top notch. Lots of team cohesion. 5. Growth opportunity - As the company grows so does your potential for professional growth. You are only limited by your own motivation.

Cons

Company is growing fast which may impact culture unless the right people are hired.

Thank you for sharing your positive feedback. The executive team is focused on building and supporting a positive culture that brings the team together and helps us to grow. Any suggestions you have on improving the culture are always welcome, and Todd is especially interested in receiving feedback. In terms of hiring, the recruiting team works closely with department heads to set a high bar for new employees, but we are always open to feedback and suggestions at Recruiting@okta.com.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
