company culture

Community has always been a critical part of Okta: connecting people is at the heart of not only our product, but also our company culture. Last year we formalized our commitment to connecting with our community by taking the 1% Pledge, allocating our time, product, and equity to give back. A few weeks ago, we made good on that pledge by hosting…

Solving problems is universal at Okta. But solving API problems for both internal teams and customers, across all time zones, earned Keith Casey his somewhat official title of Problem Solver. We were excited to sit down with Keith to learn more about how he enables Okta’s sales engineers and customers to be successful and still finds time to work…

At Okta we build, design, sell and market products that make people more productive and companies more secure. I joined the product marketing team at Okta a little over two years ago. At that time, we were mostly known for our IT products: single sign-on, provisioning (now lifecycle management), multi-factor authentication (now adaptive MFA), Okta…

I love the challenge of finding innovative solutions to complex problems. I was a developer for several years before I joined Okta. At the time, Okta’s product offering was much more limited than it is today but in identity, I saw an opportunity which knew no bounds to a developer. Little did I realize that joining Okta would become such a large…

At Okta, we celebrate our employees’ unique backgrounds, accomplishments and all that we’ve learned along the way.

To kick us off, we sat down with…

Talia Israel’s story is unique-- she has worked on almost every part of an Okta customer’s journey. After working with Okta while at several different companies and a very successful implementation, she joined our Customer Success team as an Adoption Program Manager. The funniest part of the role she didn’t realize would occur? People thinking she…

Yesterday evening, we sent the email below to all Okta employees, and wanted to share it with our customers and partners here. ++ Hi Everyone, On Friday, the Trump Administration issued an executive order that halts refugee immigration and bans immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries for 90 days. Since then, we’ve seen bravery from…

Nothing is more important than identity. It’s who you are as an individual and who we are as a company. At Okta, we’re proud to protect your right to be you. Every identity and every person is unique. They say great minds think alike, but we beg to differ. Great minds are great because they think differently, and they’re capable of incredible…

A job shouldn’t be reserved for the hours of 9-5. Success requires focus, continual learning and no limit to hard work. Whether it’s on the slopes or in the office, that’s sales-development-representative-turned-sales-engineer Akin Edwards’ philosophy. We were excited to sit down with Akin to hear more about his unique career path and passion for…

Before we head off to pop some bubbly and ring in 2017, we’re taking a few moments to celebrate the past year. #LifeatOkta means different things to all of us. From being a part of the 35 hackathon-inspired projects to running a collective 164 miles in the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge, it added up to quite a year. Thank you for being part of it…
