Pros

Sailpoint, overall is a good place to work. Here are some of the pros: +Good, cohesive culture within Sailpoint. Classic dev vs sales vs services vs support battles still exist, though it's not beyond understandable that each team has different interests. +Select very strong individual contributor performers across all divisions, however, there is no sense of superiority or arrogance by those individuals, overall. It's quite pleasant to see, actually. +The product continues to evolve, and evolve for the better.

Cons

-Cross-org transfer is not something that is in practice supported. In theory, "yes." In practice, rare. Instead, once you're in your seat, you're pretty much stuck in that seat for a while. Upward career mobility is merit-based, though slow, however if you come in as a developer, and wish to move to Services, or vice-versa, the challenges of doing so are higher than average compared to other companies. Most people just give up and quit. Be absolutely sure you want to be a "developer," or a professional services engineer, or a sales person for 5+ years -> forever. This may ease up at some point, though was not the case when I left. -Demands of the company can grown very fast, with some waning at times. Hiring is sometime matches the demand, other times painfully behind, other times a bit ahead. There are other factors too such as budget, and investor pressures. Crunch mode can come really fast, and then a lull, and then fast again. -Salary increases have been woefully small in the last couple of years. -Office musical chairs seem to be happening every six months. Don't bring in expensive art work or nice furniture.

Pros

I have been with SailPoint for over 3 years now within Engineering in Austin, TX. SailPoint is a great place to work. I think the number one reason why SailPoint is a great place to work is the leadership. All the way from the CEOs down to the managers. They do a traffic job and really understand the identity market and how to run a technology company. - SailPoint is a fun collaborative place to work. - Lots of perks and a friendly environment - Lots interesting problems to solve

Cons

- No 401K Match - The office is pretty crowded right now, but I expect that to change soon.

Pros

Sailpoint is one of the very rare companies that has virtually 100% CEO approval. The approval is well earned. Winning several industry awards only validates that. Sailpoint is committed to providing the best product in the marketplace. Sailpoint continues to grow in size in the marketplace, customer base, and so the demand has grown.

Cons

The growth is taking a toll on its employees as some employees are starting to burn out. There is a growing emphasis on 'metrics'. This seems to be a big influence by the large investment and swap from Thoma Bravo.
