Okta reviews

*SMART people - Okta hires people who have been there, done that, and can be thrown out there to figure it out successfully. I've work at several large companies and surprised to say that I've come across the smartest of peers here. *Great energy - people at Okta are truly passionate about the product. They work hard to ensure its success. It helps to work with people that are fun to be around with positive energy and enthusiasm to make the working hard part easy. *A product that really works - I'm proud to be part of a product company that puts so much focus on customer success. Okta makes sure that the customers are set up for success every step of the way. *Organizational transparency through communications

People: never have I worked with so many incredibly intelligent people who love what they do and love Okta. not a single person (in any team or job title) has ever declined to help me, answer a question, or partner up on something. I have also never worked for a company that had zero "slackers" - you will literally never see a person clowning around on Facebook during the day, standing around gossiping or complaining...I truly feel its because no one wants to! Philosophy: this is a company that embraces creativity; I feel that my ideas are welcomed and many already implemented... having only been with Okta a few months, this is HUGE for rapid career growth - something every manager makes known that they want for you. In a privately held / pre-ipo company, transparency is something we all value, but is not required. Every week there's an All Hands meeting on Friday mornings where we get total insight into every area of the business from the company's roadmap to stories from sales reps to new features in product development to stuff that was discussed in board meetings...I look forward to this every week. I could go on for days, I'm completely obsessed with my job - and no, they didn't pay me to write this - but here's a few other quick points: -There's no BS politics here. -Free lunch on MWF doesn't hurt. -People get promoted frequently, and moving across the organization to different teams is embraced/ facilitated too.
