Okta reviews

The most horrific sales culture I’ve ever worked at without exception. Managing through fear is the normal, which is driven from the top down. Managers have zero autonomy to make any decisions or actually manage their teams and are just conduits to pass information up and down the chain. What comes down is usually a list of mandatory and non negotiable things that SDRs must do. Everyone is treated the same which means that as Okta is a volume based business with strong roots in the SMB and mid market space, if you are selling to large enterprises you will be managed as if you are a volume based rep. Constant big changes in GTM strategy with absolutely zero direction or guidance.

The entire CS leadership team from VP to managers. Leadership claims to champion a “high-performance” culture. In practice, it’s closer to a shark tank: the loudest voices rise, and backstabbing is rewarded. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the enterprise side, where promotions visibly change people. CS is heading in the wrong direction, and everyone dreads the annual February hunger games. Get out while you still can.
