Pros

The product is the best, hands down. Both okta and auth0 aren’t really rivaled. Decent pay, lots of events to go to, big network of people to meet, many of which are talented

Cons

Alot of employees are leaving, but SLT doesn’t seem to notice or acknowledge it. The go to market team messed up a lot of aspects of the acquisition, and they take a real “stay in your lane” stance on challenging opinions. The toughest part is that senior leadership is mostly all external hires, who have no pulse on the org and are just figureheads for what feels like corporate propaganda

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
