Process
An HR representative contacted me on LinkedIn and scheduled a meeting, but she did not attend. She then proposed another meeting date, which she also failed to attend, thus wasting my time and sleep twice (as the meetings were scheduled for 5 AM IST, which is PST-friendly). I find such unprofessional behavior from an Okta HR unbelievable. She neither replied nor apologized for her actions.

Okta Work Experiences
- 4.0Great Ceo, Smart PeopleStaff Software Engineer • Current EmployeeMarch 6, 2021Pros: Great CEO. Smart people. Tons of opportunity.Cons: High growth means tons of opportunity.
- 1.0Toxic Culture, No AutonomyStaff Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaAugust 31, 2025Pros: Global org, so you'll get to travel every now and then to the US. However, this will change over a couple of months.Cons: Toxic, locally and globally. Everyone's perpetually scared on when they could be laid off. Managers are mere puppets here and run on orders from the US. No autonomy. The hiring team will give you a rosy picture, but if you ask more, they're horrible liars. Save yourself, run while you can.
