Pros
Genuinely nice CEO, mostly nice employees. Strong customer focus. Solid product
Cons
I've been a part of a lot of fast growth companies, but never have I seen one have such a rapid descent into negative territory as I have over the last 4 years at Okta. The culture went from friendly, collaborative and customer focused to becoming quite political, territorial and having more and more folks with a 'me first' attitude. Some department heads display questionable maturity and/or leadership ethics. The senior leadership team has shifted into what feels more like a typical 'bro' club than what you'd hope to see at a modern organization. While there has been a key female hire (CPO, for example), they lost a key female leader (CCO) and haven't replaced her. There is little meaningful effort to grow female leadership from within, or- if I'm fair- to grow any leadership from within actually (male or female). Diversity efforts are mostly just show at this point. Some teams are more disastrous and broken than others. IT for example- so many business critical/business accelerating projects stall or die on the vine due to this team. Little effort seems to be focused on trying to fix these things as no one is looking across the business at what's needed, they're all too busy managing their own fiefdoms.
