      Pros

      Worked with some very good people as part of the SE team. My manager was very good and always there when needed. Product is as advertised.

      Cons

      Product for the enterprise. Lacking mid market features. Product direction controlled by a handful of people with zero input from field. Exec's not listening to the field or people below them. Channel and marketing teams stretchered beyond limits. Roadmap nonexistent more tactical then strategic.

      I appreciate the time taken to provide this candid review. Over the last six years, we have been laser-focused on building a product that is now time-tested.. As we continue to grow, we will look for opportunities to enter new markets - you will see this happen, but this change does not happen overnight, nor does it happen in a vacuum. You mentioned the channel and marketing teams were stretched thin, and I%E2%80%99m sure you%E2%80%99ll be pleased to know that since you wrote your review, we%E2%80%99ve expanded those teams significantly and we%E2%80%99re investing heavily in headcount to keep up with growing demand from the organization. The company as a whole is focusing inward and committed to listening to all employees, in all locations, and across all levels, so we can continue to move forward together.

      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.
