Pros: Working at Okta has been a lot of fun, with plenty of projects that solve real problems. The culture is really friendly, and there's a good balance between work and life. I like how everyone, from the organization as a whole down to the individual level, is focused on specific goals and helping each other achieve them. The management is supportive, and the culture here encourages a healthy work-life balance while also doing good for the community. Compared to other places I’ve worked, the work at Okta is impactful, and you can see it in the feedback from our customers—everyone here is really building something. The team dynamics are great, with everyone being super friendly and helpful. The senior folks are always there to help us overcome any hurdles. There are lots of online courses and training available, plus good documentation for our internal systems and processes. If you’re considering joining, I’d say that Okta is a company with security at its core, no matter what role you’re in.

Cons: Can improve benefits and pay breakup (for tax benefits).

Pros: A company with lots of perks and financial benefits. The work is dependent on the team and role. Definitely a good company to join.

Cons: Work-life balance could be difficult to maintain, depending on the work your team has to handle.

Pros: - Solid product; still a leader in identity management. - Weekly Town Halls with the leadership team. - Excellent work-life balance. - Great place to start your career. - Still mostly remote-first (team dependent).

Cons: Politics between teams is at an all-time high. A lot of infighting and endless meetings where nothing is accomplished. Meeting fatigue is real. So many meetings, and meetings to plan more meetings. Most of them are unnecessary. Several managers I worked with were well underqualified and unfit to lead their own teams. They were micromanaging, constantly tracking status, and overusing processes without adding much, if any, real value. Managers are under so much pressure to appear that their teams are in order at the cost of concerning themselves more with managing up than actually supporting and listening to their own teams. The values of integrity and transparency were once at the forefront of the company culture. Sadly, this is no longer the case. A lot of churn in the C-suite and executive leadership teams; they seem to come and go on a regular basis. Knowledge gaps exist everywhere. Many experts and Okta veterans have left the organization, which has created huge voids within teams. The fixation on constant growth over the years has resulted in too many hires, leading to layoffs and annual company restructures. The stock price is consistently low and underperforming.
