Okta

• Inspirational vision

• Excellent technology community
• Competitive compensation
• Growing rapidly, so lots of career opportunities
• Fast-moving, lots of meaningful, impactful work

Okta is experiencing some growing pains as the company scales from a start-up mentality to a larger enterprise. There are many things that are done very well, but there is room for improvement as processes evolve from operating mechanisms that worked well when there were 20 people in the room to operating mechanisms required to support 200 people.

I believe that Okta will solve this, and it's a point-in-time concern, but it does get in the way occasionally. The same is true of the technology stack. Great progress is being made, but there is hygiene required to help keep the company moving fast. Leadership is fully supportive of this transformation, so again, I think this is a point-in-time concern.

Help clarify ownership across the technology/product stack. Senior leadership does a good job staying close to employees and the work that is actually happening on the ground, which is exceptional. Spend a bit more time using Values as a true north in decision-making. Decisions are consistent with the values, but it isn't articulated often.
