Pros

What most people don't say on here is Saviynt is most importantly a family. For new team hires, we love to treat the team to dinner to welcome them (virtual happy hours during quarantine) and show them the area surrounding the office (Manhattan beach, Downtown El Segundo, Marina Del Rey & Santa Monica). We try our best to have a monthly team outing and invite other teams that are at HQ to join us! Free lunch every day at the office is another huge plus :0. Saviynt brought in a CRO about 5-months ago who has brought a whole new perspective to the sales organization. From what I’ve seen he is a pretty stand up guy, with an approachable leadership style, who knows what he is doing :). Sales are skyrocketing! We also just hired a new SVP of Marketing, who came to us from Tableau, among other startups. He is extremely knowledgeable and I am personally very excited to see where he brings the Marketing team over the next few months. Hoping it will bring more direction and clarity for not just marketing, but other teams as well. Even though we are a relatively small team within in the organization, we work really closely with Sales, Product & Solutions and Customer Success teams. Each of these teams are incredibly talented, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. The chairman of the board, former CEO of Saviynt, is one of the most knowledgeable guys in the industry. It is a pleasure to be working under his guidance. He has built a leadership team of incredibly talented and knowledgeable professionals. Together they have built an incredible product and organization. In such uncertain times, the cyber industry has remained stable, which is reflected in our continued growth and sales. If you are looking to work at a company, that is experiencing unwarranted growth, that has great benefits, and that will put you outside your comfort zone, then I implore you to check out Saviynt!

Cons

Saviynt has experienced crazy growth over the past two years. With rapid growth, sometimes you are forced to take on more responsibilities than you are comfortable with, which can lead to frustration and high turnover. What most people don't see, is that this is an opportunity for you to put yourself outside of your comfort zone. Try things that are outside your scope of work! If you don't succeed, try, try again.

Pros

If you're obsessed with AI and want to be at the center of an organization actively trying to figure out what AI-first enterprise software looks like, this is genuinely interesting work. The problems are complex, the space is evolving fast, and there's real opportunity to shape things if you have the stomach for it. If you're a seasoned UX person with a strong voice, thick skin, and you thrive in ambiguity and chaos, you might carve out something meaningful here. You need to be the kind of UX leader who can walk into any room and make a compelling, persistent case for why UX matters in the age of AI. If you can influence leadership and keep making that argument without burning out, there's real work to be done here. You'll need to fight for it every step of the way. If you're looking for an organization that understands and supports good design practice, keep looking.

Cons

Design is not a valued function here, and that's not a temporary growing pain, it's structural. Collaboration between UX, PM, and engineering has always been uneven. Design is consistently brought in late, given fewer resources, and expected to execute rather than shape direction. The push toward AI makes this worse. The official message is about embracing the future, but the undertone is adapt or die, with little acknowledgment of what experienced designers actually bring that AI can't replicate. Leadership doesn't understand what UX brings to the table, budget and headcount flow to PM and engineering, and you'll spend significant energy justifying basic design work rather than doing it. There is no mature UX culture to plug into, and no hope of one being built anytime soon. There's also a persistent gap between what leadership says and what they do. They talk about improving, investing in quality, building the right way. In practice, the priority is always speed and short-term delivery. The optimism is real, but so is the pattern. Meaningful change here would require a fundamental organizational reset. You're expected to be based near one of their California offices or travel frequently, which immediately cuts out a huge pool of talented people who work remotely. If location flexibility matters to you, this is not the place. So retention has been a problem. Good people leave consistently, and the organization struggles to find and keep the right talent.
