Okta reviews

No development or growth potential for employees. Your promotional opportunities depend on who you know and whether or not the executive leading your team is in good standing. Employees aren't engaged or encouraged to be innovative or creative. It's just about hitting sales numbers and reacting to customer demands and requests - the focus is on the bottom line, not building a strong culture or iconic company. They make you work long hours and then when you're burned out, they get rid of you. HR has zero integrity and has created a hostile environment where you are afraid, paranoid and unable to trust your colleagues.

Many depts were incredibly toxic and cliquey. Various other Sr/Mid managers only hired former colleagues en masse... most of these groups failed tremendously at their former companies. (and some have since failed and left Okta). Lots of idea stealing and / or being a major roadblocks to prevent others ideas and initiatives from succeeding. This created lots of turn over and further burn out - causing lots more friction and instability for coherent paths forward. Then the layoffs just added to the instability and frustration people not "in the cliques" felt.
