Pros

The space is interesting and customers typically struggle with IAM solutions. Okta has a nice platform to handle SaaS based IAM for cloud apps.

Cons

Okta flooded the field sales force. Revenue expectations were unreasonable. Contracting issues with certain verticals (Healthcare). The product had limitations with broad scale deployments.

What an utter disappointment

Pros

Nice office. Modernized floors and solid view of the city.

Cons

- Prepare to get thrown into an office setting where questions aren't welcomed, and you're in your own island. - Everybody kept to themselves and didn't embrace a "team culture" mindset - When asking people around for more product knowledge, you'd get brushed to the side or would have eyes staring at you sideways as if you're a neanderthal - Doesn't help that it would take 2-3 months to get access to all the sales tools - Good luck trying to get promoted internally from xDR into a closing role. Absolute dogfight with a 6-month lockout of consistently hitting quota - Accounts are hot garbage. MSFT will one-day overtake this IAM space. Doesn't help that Okta got popped twice in one calendar year. Pretty pathetic, right? - Salary is way under market

Pros

It was a good company, but thats history now! Very Bad management. Gave 1 extra star for Benefits.

Cons

Bad management led to more lay offs in May 2023. Managers are under qualified or dont have people management skills
