Pros

Have been working with enterprise software for a while in my career so far. Okta is the only one that does not have that rigid and dull engineering environment and atmosphere most of other similar software company have. Challenge engineering problems to solve due to the growth and the natural of the cyber security problems. Engineering interview might not be as hard or intense as Google or Facebook but it's certainly not easy which is a good thing because it maintains a relatively high standard software engineering culture.

Cons

Might be a side effect for the growth, more and more "processes" got introduced and sometimes might be a little frustrating if you are really free will.

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
