Feeling completely left behind

Pros

Once-great culture of mutual respect and a feeling of being personally involved in the broader strategy.

Cons

In the month leading up to being laid off, I had a very difficult time getting any attention from my manager. I try my best not to "take my work home with me," but this was distressing. That feeling compounded with every step since separation. From returning my work hardware to getting reimbursed on my last expense reports, I was made to feel like I was a nuisance to them the whole time. Colleagues who I once saw socially with some regularity have been completely silent, a phenomenon I haven't experienced at any company I've been through layoffs with before. They've been contacting former employees about corrected W2s, and the messaging has been sloppy, contradictory, and bordering on antagonistic. It's difficult to see the camaraderie completely hollowed out. It's like the company has been sold for parts.

Egos + Nepotism = Disengagement

Pros

Mark is an exceptional leader who created a caring but high-performance culture. But the caring and recognition of individuality ends with him.

Cons

C-level leaders below Mark have lost the thread. Too many egos and runaway empire building. Nepotism is rife and you're either in the clique or out.

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.
