Pros

As others have mentioned the product is best in class and the CEO is very charismatic

Cons

SailPoint does a great job branding itself as a great place to work in order to attract talent. They campaign internally and externally to ensure you are aware of the recognition they’ve received. The Kool-Aid here is strong and the overall experience underwhelming. SailPoint has the highest Glassdoor rating of all the companies I've worked for but was easily the least impressive. The experience taught me that product-market fit can take a company really far because under the hood is a general mess of bad practices enforced by mediocre management that have institutionalized themselves believing they're the reason the company is crushing it, and not a great product. They've made it really hard to help the company scale. Even incoming executives have trouble getting things done. It's really easy for your ideas to be dismissed, which takes its toll. As an experienced professional, I felt like an intern.

Pros

• Great culture, people are incredibly helpful, smart, and collaborative. • Strong focus on work-life balance and flexibility. • You get to work on industry-leading identity security tech that major enterprise clients actually care about.

Cons

With the dynamic shift toward new AI initiatives, staying aligned across teams takes extra effort as priorities adapt to market demands.

Pros

Collaborative environment, fair compensation and possibility of increase through shares awards, leadership that really tries to involve you with what you like doing - in my time here I never felt like a number, they genuinely care. Affinity groups give you the opportunity to meet people from many areas of the company. Pool of very qualified resources make staffing and overseeing projects easier. Product keeps advancing, so it never gets boring, there is always something new to learn. Good work life balance - heavier workload when projects going live or end of quarters, but lower in between.

Cons

Mostly remote teams - easy to stay isolated, very rare opportunities to bring the team to in person gatherings.
