Okta Work Experiences
- 4.0Great product. The organization is run by engineers, not managementSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeBellevue, Washington, United StatesApril 14, 2022Pros: Ownership of cool problems. Okta operates at a massive scale. Very collaborative engineering environment. Okta tries to stay out of your way, enabling you to get work done. Todd McKinnon (CEO) is an amazing leader. I wish I could say the same about the rest of middle management.Cons: Management is very political. In 2 years at Okta, I've had 4 Engineering Managers. With that sort of turnover, it's tough for managers to really dig their teeth in. It can feel like engineers are running the show (beyond what is typically expected of their role).
- 5.0Great Place, Needs BalanceEngineering • Current EmployeeBellevue, Washington, United StatesApril 4, 2022Pros: Great place to work at.Cons: Work/life balance could use some work.

In terms of the software processes and management, this company is on the cutting edge.Cons: Quite a bit of red tape, which can take away some of the enjoyment of writing/shipping code.
