Pros

- You are treated like an adult. If you need to go to the doctor, need some time off, have to work from home, tend to a last-second emergency, Sailpoint will let you do all those things without second-guessing you. And they don't make you feel guilty doing any of those things either. - No micromanagers. Management just cares about you getting your job done. The rest really does not matter that much. Of course your hours according to position have certain expectations of availability and in-office attendance, but they are all very reasonable and super flexible with you. - Hands-off approach to leading employees creates a company culture of self-motivated people who want to do excellent work for the company because they feel loved and cared for. - TONS of smart people. I feel like the sky is the limit for my growth potential in a technical role. I am super happy with the different career paths readily available to take. - VERY humble and personable technical folks that are super approachable, always willing to explain things patiently and calmly without an attitude, and are genuinely there to help and share their skill with you. - Flat hierarchy, accessible leadership, open-office policy, makes you feel like you can approach anyone in a higher position at any time. - I've had multiple conversations with our CEO already and I've only been here for a few months! Super nice guy, very genuine, approachable, full of life and personality. - GREAT compensation & pay. I feel well-paid for what I'm worth with my skill - fast moving pace with great company culture. - Very valuable company and well-respected as a leader in the IAM space across the world. - Increasing market-share very quickly year-over-year and expanding at an exponential rate and it is not slowing down any time soon. Best time to join the company. - Management is your cheerleader and wants to see you succeed. - Management is open to feedback and approachable nearly at any time and they work hard to maintain this kind of company culture. - Free lunch on Wednesdays and breakfast tacos every Friday!

Cons

- Free snacks in break room aren't very good. Can we change it up and not have just animal crackers and pretzels in there all the time? (First-world problems) - Health benefits aren't the greatest. Co-pays are significantly higher for the types of medical specialists I need to see. I noticed a significant price increase in co-pays as compared to my last job with United Healthcare benefits.

Still growing and thriving

Pros

I feel lucky to have dropped into this place. The people, the product, the market, and the timing of it all. These rarely all come together. We have such a huge opportunity in front of us. I love working here. I stay for the people, the career growth, the constant learning, and being a part of a fast-growth company impacting a hot market. I was one of the earlier employees who lived under Venture Capital, Thoma Bravo, Publicly traded, and now back to Thoma Bravo. All of those phases have different strengths and challenges which have been such opportunity and education. I appreciate we have maintained our values while also scaling. Mark McClain has been able to bring in a leadership team for our next phase that shares our values while bringing vision, passion, and ability to execute at scale. Scale is challenging and involves constant change, so it's not for everyone. If scale were easy, every company would succeed in doing it. I'm looking forward to what opportunities become available as we continue to grow and lead the Identity Security space.

Cons

Executing at scale is demanding and challenging. That breeds the kind of problems that are fun to solve, but if you aren't up for the challenge, this isn't the place for you.

Great CEO - weak middle management

Recommend

Pros

Amazing CEO, Mark really cares about people and is a genuine person.

Cons

Very little room for innovation. The product is good but the surrounding processes and tools are archaic and suffer from rigid thinking. This is mostly caused by individuals in middle management having worked for the company for a long time and don't want to "rock the boat" while being more concerned about their status and how they are viewed politically within the organization than innovative thinking. It is very "clique-ish"
