Pros

Good benefits and insurance Hybrid working Strong product, competitors dont come near Todd is a great founder and ceo

Cons

The lack of transparency from management is causing alot of speculation that drives fear and paranoia. There are plans for further reorg but asia management is not forward with communication thus causing panic in teams on job security, driving individuals to play games rather than work on driving outcomes. The constant reorg and restructuring results in inconsistent testing of strategies of markets which then leads to failures Lack of accountability across teams resulting in finger pointing and extremely low collaboration in cross functional teams

Pros

A dynamic, fast-paced environment driven by top-tier talent and a deeply collaborative culture. The company successfully combines a high-growth startup mindset with agile execution, fostering continuous innovation and cross-functional support.

Cons

Like many publicly traded SaaS companies, Okta has aggressive revenue targets. Employees in sales, account management, and customer success frequently note that quotas are demanding, territories can change unexpectedly during annual restructuring, and pressure to expand accounts can lead to burnout.

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.
