      Great Product, Great Company

      Pros

      Not a typical startup feeling working here. Company fundamentals are solid and run like a mature corporation. Not much of a risk involved here because the product is high quality and in demand. There is a definite need in the market for this product.

      Cons

      They 'say' they would promote from within first whenever possible but I haven't seen much of that. Make sure you will truly enjoy the position you seek because you may be in it for a while.

      Okta always seeks to promote from within, but sometimes that is not possible given that we are growing so quickly and do not always have employees who have scaled a business like this before. If you have not done so already, we highly encourage you to develop a career roadmap with your manager that identifies your goals and what is required to get you to the next phase of your career.

      Phenomenal product that is changing the industry. People working behind the product are exceptionally smart and know what they are doing.

      Cons

      no grasp on company culture. different departments have different ways of working - some better than others

      Thank you for the feedback! Todd and the executive team are focused on how to define and encourage a positive company culture. And, it is equally important that all employees feel a sense of ownership for the culture. We encourage you to promote what you see working and call out what you see as counter-productive. You can approach any HR representative or company manager to talk through these strategies and gain support for your recommendations.

      Pros

      People are very focused on doing what's best for clients. The teaming and care for clients was refreshing and awesome. Great internal growth- Never been at a company so committed to hiring internally.

      Cons

      Very technical sale, can be challenging for folks outside the industry to come into.

      Thank you for your response. While Okta’s cutting edge technology can sometimes pose a steep learning curve for those outside the identity management industry, we are committed to attracting and retaining the best technology professionals possible. To help them become productive quickly, we offer in-depth training for sales and all employees quarterly (and sometimes more often), along with an online curriculum. Please reach out to any recruiter or the Sales Enablement team with any suggestions to enhance the program.
