Pros

its very rare to find a company that truly brings out the best in you. Prior to OKTA I lacked purpose and clarity, I was in every sense of the word, just getting by. OKTA came along and now I know what it means to have passion for one's work. I probably have never worked this hard ever in my life but the funny part is that I'm truly enjoying it and want to do more.... The Pro's? everything! very lucky to be part of this company and this team

Cons

Working this hard can make life at home tricky, early calls and often working super late. Make sure the family at home is onboard, mine for example is well aware of the commitments and when the deals come through we celebrate ; )

It is exciting to be a part of a company that is transforming an industry, and we recognize that employees who are passionate about their work will often go above and beyond in their efforts for Okta. Understanding that building a company takes a significant commitment, we focus on helping our employees strike a balance between their work and home lives. We recently instituted a flexible time off policy, and strongly encourage our employees to take advantage of this time away from the office. And to help blow off steam at work, we have ping-pong tournaments, catered lunches and happy hours. We also provide all of our employees with an ownership stake in the company, so that everyone will be able to see the rewards of their hard work.

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
