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

They treat you like the adult that they hired, providing lots of autonomy to complete your work. No micro-management. There are quite a few corporate events in Austin that allow you to get to know other team members you don't work with on a day to day basis.

Cons

Heavy work loads that seems to be the general consensus due to how fast the company is growing.

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.
