For any business that began life as a humble startup, each year is a big deal—but when you hit your 10 year anniversary, it’s pretty surreal. We’ve learned a lot in 10 years; much of it thanks to our customers who have been our intrepid companions on this journey. To me, one of the most important changes we’ve made is how we understand our…

At some companies, employees look forward to the annual holiday party, team happy hours and company retreats. At Okta, we certainly love those aspects of team bonding, but what we really count down the days until is our next hackathon.
