Hello and thanks for sharing your feedback on your experience in our sales organization. I agree that our technology is top-notch and is driving much value for our customers as they work to stop breaches from becoming cyber disasters. Thanks also for the feedback on how you have experienced the sales quota setting and your attainment here. It's a topic that we look at on a regular basis, and certainly at each fiscal year, to ensure that we are both competitive to market and rewarding folks well inside the organization. I also understand individual mileage may vary, so I appreciate your feedback, and I'm open to connecting offline in person if you'd like so I can understand more! Thanks, David Chief People Officer

Pros

Transparent, open culture – Illumio emphasizes honesty and direct communication, even on tough topics Recognition-driven environment – wins are celebrated across teams and employees are recognized by peers and leadership Collaborative + partnership mindset – teams operate with accountability and strong cross-functional alignment Inclusive and diverse workplace – strong emphasis on belonging, varied backgrounds, and different perspectives

Cons

High standards, accountability, and pressure to perform Not necessarily negative—but can feel intense depending on the team/role. Change happens often if you don't like change you will not like it here. I love change and I love that we are always trying to improve or be better. 401(k) plan without company matching- this is normal for our stage and employee count but candidates mention this alot. I wanted to flag it. They do give us a retirement savings account and mine is doing well but no match.
