Pros

Good benefits; many great and collaborative colleagues. Pros were greater pre-merger when it was Auth0, not Okta

Cons

Very poor management; cliquish; false openness and transparency; a lot of people who don't understand identity in positions of power and authority; upper management out of touch with what employee producers actually do; falsely claiming to want to be global and have a worldview but in a totally Bay Area bubble (which is growing smaller and more insular). A lot of lip service about diversity and not a lot of real action here. If you don't fit a certain idea of what an Okta employee is or should be, you feel very much on the outside. Also the company takes a very inside-out approach and doesn't really think about customer first no matter what they claim.

Pros

Great Benefits. Fantastic product. Company is scaling (or at least trying to).

Cons

Management and company culture has grown toxic. Extremely political and dramatic. Specifically in sales, marketing, and the C-Suite. I wouldn’t recommend joining okta unless you are some type of director or above and also remote. SF just RTO’d and it’s been miserable.
