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.

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.
