Pros

They get it. I've been at Okta for over a year and I'm remote. I don't see the day to day in the Corporate office but everyone I ever come into contact with wants the same thing. Everyone wants to do their best work and tries hard to get better. I'm not sure what else you can ask for. The biggest plus is that the product actually works. I've sold software for many companies and most of the time I'm apologizing for the garbage I just sold them. Not at Okta, I don't have to spend hours of my week escalating problems to product management. This is a company of workers. It's not for the casual employee that wants to coast into work and not be accountable. The expectations for every employee are very high. If you are not accustomed to going above and beyond and you thing "good enough" is fine, this is not your company. Keep looking.

Cons

Young employees bring energy and new ideas, they also bring inexperience. Most everyone is patient and willing to coach and most of the eager young people are coach able. However, it does create frustration. If you are one of those young people just out of college....listen, learn, this is an amazing place to start your career.

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
