Pros

might open doors for next opportunities

Cons

okta is not a great place to be. Rarely will you come close to your OTE. While the plan seems lucrative, there are far, FAR too many sales reps for the little opportunity there is. How you do is heavily weighted on how hot your territory is, but of course that’s not acknowledged. Those people are made out to be sales gurus and you’re made to feel like a failure . the accounts they give you are largely not viable (not in business/fake) and PIPs are looming for many. Managers are frazzled and micromanage endlessly because they are getting the same from above. There’s a very weird and cut throat energy to this place that makes it difficult to feel comfortable. Many people are looking to leave. Everyone is on edge because they know the sales team is about to burst from how bloated it is.

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.
