Pros

- The technology is pretty solid - Strong marketing (huge budgets) - Well regarded in the market - Looks great on a resume - Some great people working here (though many have left now!)

Cons

- True leadership is severely lacking in ANZ - Crazy high staff attrition rates (lots of dissatisfied staff) - Every manager (regardless of performance) is now a VP somehow? Seems like they are just throwing job titles to retain staff. - Targets are unrealistic given the heavy competition with Microsoft, Ping, ForgeRock, and others. - Lots of fiefdoms. - Pay is now under where the market sits (25%) - Share price has tanked

Pros

A dynamic, fast-paced environment driven by top-tier talent and a deeply collaborative culture. The company successfully combines a high-growth startup mindset with agile execution, fostering continuous innovation and cross-functional support.

Cons

Like many publicly traded SaaS companies, Okta has aggressive revenue targets. Employees in sales, account management, and customer success frequently note that quotas are demanding, territories can change unexpectedly during annual restructuring, and pressure to expand accounts can lead to burnout.

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.
