Pros
Don't believe all the negative comments you read here about Okta. I am not aware of the specifics of every single group, but there is definitely a sense of respect for people in mine (Product group), including time boundaries (both after regular office hours and weekends/vacation) and personal obligations (family or religion-related, for instance). I've never had any work-life balance issue, and if I've always felt it's a personal choice if employees choose to work beyond regular office hours. Okta sets a high bar when it comes to hiring people, but this translates into having the opportunity to work with exceptionally bright yet humble colleagues. Okta really values humility and accomplishment, which are not antithetic and very well personified by the founders, Todd McKinnon and Frederic Kerrest. Both seem to know every single employee by name and routinely greet them by name when they walk in hallways. They're also funny and charismatic and go to great length to make sure they are as transparent as they can possibly be by sharing a lot of company-confidential data during all-hands meetings. They trust their employees enough to know that this type of data will not leak out. The level of transparency at Okta is truly unheard of. There is no sense of entitlement at Okta, which is really a "no bs" company. You are judged both on your ability to deliver and your capacity to work well with others, be they colleagues and (obviously) customers. Okta is not your typical Silicon Valley startup and maintains a professional yet friendly atmosphere, which is guaranteed by the maturity and experience of its founders in the enterprise software field. No out-of-line behavior is tolerated, which is also a guarantee that the work atmosphere stays friendly and inclusive of all genders, origins and religions.
Cons
Can't think of any at this time.
