Used to be great, until the Splunk people came - Sales Okta Employee Review

Well-structured and highly organized. Lots of learning and growth opportunities, autonomy and ownership. Companywide AI trainings and certification. Great people

Two-year limit on contractors and not a lot of headcount to convert contractors to FTE

+ Most team memebers are nice, except for a select few situated in the main Pacific Time zone + Other teams at okta are really good and helpful. Really good professionals IMHO + This team used to be Nice when the team was being lead by a former employee, it was later taken over by the manager who is quiet horrible at understanding and assigning tasks + learnt a lot about security, although all my learnings lasted only about the first 2 years.

- Un clear mandates from leadership which changes every other month - Manager is King, Literally a manager can make things up and they never get challenged. - Over assignment of projects with un achievable deadlines were common towards then end . - segregation wiithin the teams as only a hanful are allowed to make decisions . These Segregated memebers were rewarded by better project selections and tasks as the rest were givven remedial busy tasks - Finger Pointing culture when it comes to certain tasks - Manager gets aggressive where its not warranted, and does not respect boundries during Doctor visits. - Manager is explosively retaliatory and creates horrible toxic culture in private chats. - No acknolodgements for achievements as they were given , instead your work gets reported as accomplished by other team members. - No room to grow as Not even yearly evaluations are handled factually. - Manager is extremely forgetful, Positive ideas would be conveyed only for them to be overtuned in the next week 1 on 1 with zero recollection of the previous conversations. - Tensions got so bad a team member recently passed away
