Pros

I've done a couple internships with Okta, and I highly recommend interning with the company. I could not ask for a better internship. They fostered an environment where I could learn a lot through hands on experience, but they also believed that I was capable of completing complex projects. The pay is competitive, the location is ideal, the culture is very young and energetic. They have perks such as streaming big games such as the World Cup, free lunch, free snacks, free drinks (including a kegerator on each floor), and happy hours. Honestly, the best part is that I felt like a valued member of the company, and that they actually cared about my personal success. The moment that best represents this is that I am a marketing major that is also interested in finance, and they let me laterally move across the organization to work in the finance department. I don't know very many companies that would let an intern do that.

Cons

There aren't really any major cons. If I had to pick I would say San Francisco is extremely expensive so commuter or housing reimbursement or subsidies would have been appreciated as a college student; this by no means took away from my internship experience.

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
