Antiquated tech and process
My coworkers were friendly and supportive. No meetings are allowed to be scheduled on Thursdays, and it's a company-wide WFH day. Decent comp package.
The tech stack is a joke: monolithic Java stack and Chef-based deployments. The process around planning is so heavy, with monthly and weekly sprint planning, that I felt like I was constantly in meetings. Okta has a "Technical Program Management" that is basically a team of glorified Scrum Masters, where the majority of them are non-technical. Okta felt like a rest and vest sort of company, where I can't fathom why anyone wishing to grow their technical skills would even entertain wanting to work there. Okta is also a very "email heavy" culture.
