Passionate team, trustworthy leadership, massive potential
Pros
- Our vision is inspiration, our potential is massive. I am confident that Okta is going to be as big as Salesforce one day. - I trust and respect our leaders. They're all experts in their domains; some are the best in the business. And yet, they're humble, too. - If you work hard and are committed to this company, you will succeed. Career opportunities abound! - Okta truly is sales, marketing and PR machine. I'm proud to say I work on the Marketing team and of the work of my colleagues. I mean, we had Barack Obama as a keynote speaker at our customer conference in 2018! How cool is that?!
Cons
- Our unofficial company motto is "Always On," so expect to *always* be on to be taken seriously: nights, weekends, vacations and holidays. It's great that people are passionate about their work, but sometimes, it feels like a competition to see who can work the hardest or longest. - I'm torn on whether or not I should comment on the "bro culture" mentioned in recent reviews. It's not as bad as I've seen/experienced elsewhere, but the fact that this is common in software companies shouldn't be an excuse. I know the leaders mean well, but most of them are straight white males, and they need to really invest in diversity and inclusion. - Don't come expecting Google, Facebook, Airbnb or Square-level food. But I actually don't think that's a con! We should be investing in more important things than food.
