What people at SailPoint say
Reviews originally posted on Glassdoor.
Good work culture and WLB. The company really takes care of its employees in every way.
Fairly competitive salaries. Fun place to work. Friendly people
Our engineers' competence is well above par compared with the rest of the industry.
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.
These people care about their people! What a great group to work with! This company fully understands and embraces the concept that well taken care of employees will work hard, and produce great stuff.
