Pros

Illumio is filled with smart people who care about the company and its success. The product and the company has been successful and it is good to be a part of that success. There is a lot of opportunity here as Illumio goes through this rapid growth phase and you gain the experience of being here throughout this transformation.

Cons

There are some growing pains as Illumio transitions from the startup it once was.

I have also been here for more than 4 years and I agree with what you say about smart people and the company’s success. It’s because of dedicated people like you that we work well as a team. Delivering the ability for our clients to secure their environments, in a way no other company has previously done. It feels like we are doing good things for this very rapidly changing world, thank you for being part of that! - Scott Downie, VP Support, Services & DevOps

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.
