Pros

Great people and good cooperation amongst cross-functional team. Solid products and great customer service.

Cons

Too many senior leadership changes. New GTM leader, CRO, 2 CMO's, 2 CFO's, and new CTO. Todd and Freddie have let the new leadership, specifically the GTM leadership, destroy what use to be a great culture. Okta used to be a company that valued employees, now they treat them like a commodity. There has been a significant drain of very talented employees due to the changing culture. Merger with Auth0 was handled very poorly.

Pros

Great Benefits. Fantastic product. Company is scaling (or at least trying to).

Cons

Management and company culture has grown toxic. Extremely political and dramatic. Specifically in sales, marketing, and the C-Suite. I wouldn’t recommend joining okta unless you are some type of director or above and also remote. SF just RTO’d and it’s been miserable.
