Pros

A product that has a good TAM and fills a real need in the market place Tons of funding...Nobody has ever told me to watch my travel expenses :) Sales is the leading function here...take a back seat y'all

Cons

Complete lack of trust in some of the e-staff. (yes folks here talk about this) Some functions (finance is the one that comes to mind) seem to have low morale and do not respond (had a question on something and nobody replied to me...even after 3 tries..lame lame lame) The culture here is one directional. Feedback is discounted and ignored

First, thanks for taking time to review us. And, I agree with your view that we have a tremendous market potential and a product that addresses it well. Nobody in the field should ever have their requests for help ignored and I’m sorry you had that experience. I hope you’ll come to me or someone on the leadership team if this happens again. I also hope you’ll share your feedback with me as well. All of us are very interested in the experience of our field teams so we can make it easier for us to compete and win in the market. I am sincere about that. I’d like to know what you think. Illumio is in the middle of an exciting transition as we move from start-up to an established, mid-sized company. As it happens, our ways of connecting and communicating can take a hit during these times. In response to this, we’ve expanded our channels for anonymous feedback and questions. We’ve added more sessions for executives and employees to have face time. And we’re continuing to think of new and creative ways to keep the 'start-up feel' even as we grow. The company as a whole is focusing inward and committed to listening to all employees, in all locations, and across all levels. We know that there is always room for improvement and I hope that, with your help, we can identify those areas more quickly. Thank you for your contributions to Illumio and I do hope we can talk soon.

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.

Hi there and thanks for taking time to share your feedback, and thank you for your contribution to our company and our culture. It sounds like we're doing well in delivering on what you joined us for in terms of your experience, which is great to hear. And thanks for sharing some of the perspectives on the pace of change; I agree that when you're growing and scaling like we are, it can feel fast - as a senior leadership team, we're committed to ensuring we do our best to communicate at the team, org and company level as often and as transparently as we can. Please keep the feedback coming! Thanks, David Chief People Officer
