Pros

Great product, fantastic CEO Okta destroys the competition technically head to head Most of the SE's are solid Okta is on a mission to become the next great technology company and it's well on its way

Cons

Okta is a sales grind and the pressure never lets up from the sales executive team. Very tough environment, not for the shy or weak. You will feel like a punching bag after sales forecast and QBR meetings. Account assignments make no sense and they are flooding the field with more sales reps. A very corporate office environment, with little joy or startup culture. You are there to work and that's it. Very silo'd company which has a hard time enjoying it's success

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
