The war for talent is aggressive, but because of the quality of our company, our solutions, our team and our market opportunity, we are proud of our success in attracting the best and the brightest in the industry. Employees are always our best source of new talent referrals, so be sure to tell our recruiting team about any colleagues you would like to see working at Okta. In terms of office space, we are evaluating our future space needs and are very focused on bringing the team together into one location.

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
