Exciting, industry leading startup.

Pros

It’s a startup. You’ll have real responsibility for real work that has a material impact on the success of the company. You’ll get to work for an industry leader in a really important segment of the market; it doesn’t get much more important than security and identity management. You’ll get to work on cool technology with really smart people who care passionately about what they’re doing. You’ll get to make a difference, and you’ll have a chance to earn a really large return on the time and labor you’ll invest here.

Cons

It’s a startup. It might not win. Some of the previous review comments are just silly. You’re gonna work hard and you’re gonna work long hours. Resources are relatively limited; you’re not gonna get a gym membership, and you’re not gonna get a 401(k) match. Who goes to work for a startup to get a 401(k) match? People are really busy, but despite what some reviews here have said, the atmosphere is friendly and collegial. What Okta calls a sordid argument Bill Gates or Steve Ballmer would call a routine conversation. If you’re coming in at a junior level, you’ll get mentoring and support. If you’re coming in at a senior level you’ll be expected to drive yourself up the learning curve. That said, people are more than willing to help you, if you’re respectful and you don’t waste their time. The company is experiencing some growing pains, but no more than any reasonable person would expect.

Pros

Interesting work and smart, open-minded people who are fun to both work and play with. Plenty of opportunities to work with other engineering teams and learn different technologies. One of the best workplaces I've ever seen for female engineers (yep, I'm one). Lots of flexibility for people with families/other personal commitments.

Cons

Rapid growth makes it increasingly difficult to know everyone's name in engineering, let alone everywhere else in the company. Also, a gym subsidy would be nice (but now I'm just nitpicking).
