Okta

Okta has some of the highest engineering standards of any company I have ever worked for. This runs deep throughout quality, availability, reliability, scalability, and process dimensions of the platform. It is truly an engineering-driven company, with top-notch technical talent, motivated by a healthy meritocracy at its core.

I've been extremely impressed with the senior leadership, who are friendly, humble, accessible, and motivating.

Along with the extremely competitive compensation, the Toronto office is full of great people and perks as well.

Work/life balance can be a challenge for a SaaS company with an "Always On" tagline. On the other hand, the organization is also very respectful of personal time.

Since Toronto is remote from the SF HQ, it can be a challenge to have "water cooler talks" with fellow employees who do not work in the office. This isn't specific to Okta, but a reflection of a satellite office.
