Pros

The product is obviously industry leading. The office has many perks and smiling faces, and many of the senior execs I've met are incredibly down to earth and good-humored.

Cons

Okta tends to throw ill-conceived surveys at you in an attempt to figure out how they can help improve your job, then they misinterpret the results by concocting an almost insulting solution. In our team, I have seen external hires start at a higher salary and job title than people with long tenure, for no explicable reason -- these folks often struggle with onboarding and lean heavily upon their lower ranked/salaried peers for several months. I have observed this not being so great for morale, and rumors run amok that there is cronyism and nepotism from various managers. There is evident supporting this should leadership choose to look.

Pros

Good company benefits - private healthcare, employee stock purchase programme Annual sales kickoff

Cons

All calls & emails are now monitored. Graded & tracked on your calls. New requirement is now to have 50+ calls a month recorded in Gong (Gong was previously phased out but now a requirement). Pay rises are low, false promises each year of promotions & generous pay rises Team members favoured over others Work life balance now near on impossible with all the new asks put in place
