Microsoft is in this space you know, it is by far the biggest player.

Okta is an awesome company, there will always be doubters, do your own research, and don't trust anonymous chats on some internet forums, including myself.

Gives a whole new meaning to Cloud Computing.

That's true, until you know who promoted Guthrie to lead the division. It was Nadella

L1 is almost identical to H1b except for two main things, L1 grants your spouse an L2 visa which make him\her eligible to work in US unlike H1b\H4 nightmare, while on H1b you have more freedom applying for other jobs (if the companies are willing to transfer your visa) without going through the lottery again, unlike L1 which you get stuck with the same employer unless another company is willing to go through the lottery hassle with you. in short, Pick your poison.

Been there, done that. I had the same experience back in 2008, when the economy was on its peak --before it crashed miserably-- back then I got an offer from Microsoft to work in their new Vancouver development center aka(MCDC). The plan was to get everyone who is stuck waiting for their H1b Visas to start working immediately (because Canada is awesome) while testing their luck with the lottery and in worse case scenario working for a period of 1 year to qualify for L1 visa, the plan was working great, actually many people ended up loving Vancouver and decided to stay there and not go to US at all, however after the economy crashed, the H1b demand fell pretty sharp for the next 3 to 4 years which made the whole development center purpose unnecessary, in addition to significantly slower hiring and layoffs in that time frame. So, now I see the same thing happening again, and I worry if this is just a déjà vu, hopefully not, fingers crossed.

As someone who worked for Microsoft for years (left few years back), everybody in Microsoft criticize Microsoft, there is no red lines to cross. The bad things usually come from the fanboys of Microsoft inside Microsoft, especially if one of them is guarding a pretty strategic area, and the good thing is, these people have been leaving (or asked to leave) for quite some time now, the likes of Steve Ballmer & Sinofsky, while other super geeks like Satya Nadella, Scott Guthrie, Qi Lu are taking over.
