      Pros

      Great product, nice building, free food and good healthcare.

      Cons

      Management is going to be the ultimate down fall of Illumio. There is definitely a “boys club” mentality where all the managers hire friends and old coworkers and because they do that, there’s a lot of favoritism. Management has no empathy and because of that, so many people that have left were very mistreated and the people that are here are still mistreated. Their check up on you is just so that they can tell HR that they did, not because they really care. Everything that is told to us is very sugar coated and scripted so we never really know what’s going on. In a matter of eight months the culture of this company has become toxic. No one is willing to help each other due to the fact that they’re worried about their own employment. This place has become depressing, and no one really wants to come in. I wonder if this is rock bottom or if there’s still a ways to go.

      Given your concerns that everything is "sugar coated and scripted", I’ll be as direct and forthright as you know I usually am. Over the 6+ years of Illumio's existence, we have probably been 3 different companies in order to to get to where we are today. We’ve grown a lot, we are still learning, with our team, and we are still running to the challenges of creating a company. As I said in a previous response, we are launching a regular 360' feedback cycle that our entire team will go through—including all of our execs - that's happening right now. This means that if a manager “doesn’t really care” or “people are mistreated,” the structure is now in place to make sure that information is visible at all levels and I can assure you it will get the attention it needs. If you are still on the team, I hope you are seeing the continued progress we are making to become the best company possible and a place where you can develop and feel supported. - Scott

      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.
