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.

Pros

Maybe I lucked out, but this is has truly been my dream job. I was hired as a junior-mid level developer (not product), but my experience has been mostly in low-code platforms. I basically get paid 6 figures to learn how to code on the job and I get to participate in cool initiatives. I definitely feel very lucky and grateful and SailPoint's culture 100% contributes to my satisfaction. I get to work from anvwhere in the world, I get a flexible schedule, free lunch, free, good coffee made by a barista on-site, good 401k match, and my boss doesn't care what my schedule is, only what I deliver matters. It's the first time in my career where I feel like l'm being treated like a trusted adult and I'm so happy.

Cons

My experience has been heavily affected by lucking out with my manager. I imagine maybe other managers in the company are not as cool. Stock price is not looking great but it honestly doesn't affect my day-to-day work so I don't really care. Lower salaries compared to other SaaS companies, specifically for Software Engineering.
