Overall, a good company
Software Engineer • Current Employee

Good work-life balance.

Masquerades as an SF Tech Company
Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
March 9, 2021
Pros: Stock price went up when I was working there.
Cons: This is the slowest-moving company when it comes to decisions.
When a decision is made, be prepared for management to change their mind at the last minute.
Okta chooses less superior vendors to do business with to make a business connection and gloat about it, leaving the employees to deal with working with horrible products.
IT is a disaster. Multiple requests into IT were never responded to, including by IT management. It should not take IT three weeks to provision access to an Okta app after you get approval.
This team is the epitome of lazy and has one of the poorest management teams I have ever seen. The IT management team needs to be gutted.
Be ready for your managers to talk about you behind your back and share personal info and concerns from private meetings with your team.
