Pros

— Humble, friendly, respectful culture. Colleagues are kind, hard-working and smart. It is a refreshing change in a city full of egos. — We're growing, and fast. It's an exciting place to be and there is a lot to be done. Looks to be lots of opportunity as we scale. — I was admittedly initially concerned about some of the reviews on Glassdoor of women at Okta, but have been pleased to find the opposite since joining the team. I've felt included, supported and listened to by executive management, my boss and other women at the company. There are plenty of glass ceilings to be broken in SF/Silicon Valley tech, but I believe this is a good place to do it from. — The products work! And people like them! And we use them too! Crazy.

Cons

— Free lunch is like eating at grandma's, but hey, its free lunch — Office space is in transition, sounds like it will be fixed by November

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
