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.

• 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.
