company culture

Some business’ core values have become very well-known, or even iconic—remember Google’s original code of conduct, “Don’t Be Evil”? It’s pithy and impactful, yet also vague and conceptual. This statement has since been altered to a more democratic, “You can make money without doing evil.” After all, there’s something to be said for having guiding…

We all know there is a serious pipeline problem when it comes to diversity in tech. In fact, Black or Latinx employees comprise “just 10% of technical employees in the tech workforce” according to the Kapor Center for Social Impact’s Leaky Tech Pipeline Report. The report outlines six key areas across the pipeline where the larger tech community…

We’ve heard it all before. Headlines have long heralded “a workplace revolution.” But today, that buzz is finally taking form. Grey cubicles, rigid work hours, and clunky on-premises frameworks are being usurped by more flexible policies. This ethos of liberation extends to technology too — the cloud, identity-driven security, and user-centric…

Read on to see how…

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…
