Pros

Honestly, I enjoyed 2 of the 3 years I spent at SailPoint. The 3rd year everything began to change. My product was constantly hit with severity 1 grade issues at all times of the day. Technical leadership began having to work on the weekends. Very little effort was made to stabilize and scale the system, yet more and more customers were being signed.

Cons

Little career movement: - There simply just aren't opportunities to grow your career at this company. The senior developers have all been there since the beginning of the company or are best friends of the people who are at the top. You can make many lateral movements, but vertical movements were just non-existent. Technical Decisions: - Technical decisions on my product were made by a sole entity. As we all know, this is just not how things should work. Architects should have final say but the decisions should come from a group of developers to make the "best" decision for the product with the budget, time, and resources available. The technical decisions led us down paths that were questionable and full of technical debt. Final Straw: - Manager became a snake in the grass. She would say or do one thing and then slate us with tons of work. She never worked to help her employees and only work towards pleasing upper management. Honestly, I watched this manager throw people under the metaphorical bus so many times it became the norm. You always had to watch your back.

Pros

• 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.
