Pros

You gain exposure to an entire swathe of industry standards and products. It's among the best of the best, and you'll have the opportunity to see the whole underbelly of one of the biggest names in identity SaaS.

Cons

Thinking back on the layoff, the way they were initiated was outright cunning. Weeks before, they had us remove oAuth keys to company repositories citing that it was a "security" issue, even though most profiles were required to be linked to a verified okta email domain. On top of that, internal tools started to misbehave for what sounded like most people being let go. Rather than tell us outright, we woke up to cowardly emails telling us we'd been let go for dubious reasons. In typical corporate fashion, system tools had their access revoked remotely, and the computer was bricked at some point. We were invited to a Zoom meeting where they expressed how sorry they were and this, that, and the third. I could really feel the human connection as they read off their script. I think pitiful old me was playing in the background as well. I was practically in tears! Anyways, it's just another job at the end of the day. If you're looking for a "family" or any other buzzword, go see your own because you won't even find friends here. Have a good day and be well, reader!

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
