Pros

Is (or at least was) a category leader.

Cons

Culture of fear and paralysis. Fealty to CEO valued over performance, candor, work ethic. Company lacks culture or any cohesive set of values, and fails to "do the right thing" if doing so is not convenient. Example: I had to file litigation to collect on equity benefits I was entitled to under my employment contract. It took two years and thousands of dollars of attorneys' fees before I was ultimately victorious at trial - yes I had to literally take Okta all the way to a full jury trial to get what I was owed (which Okta tried to avoid on a technicality). Happily my 12-0 jury verdict took care of that. But wow,

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.
