Pros

Game-changing technology. Customers are literally blown away when they first see the product. Market leader with many big name customers using the product at scale. Great company culture with tons of opportunity to make an impact and grow your career. Standard perks of a well-funded startup (free food, etc) and decent work/life balance.

Cons

Natural growing pains of any successful startup.

It really is amazing when you get to witness first-hand a customer watch Illumio Core and Illumio Edge protect their network and endpoint devices. It’s great to hear that you’ve had that experience and seen how it blew them away. I’m also glad to know that you’ve found a culture connection here at Illumio—after all, it’s not just about the product but about the people who are designing and deploying this game-changing technology. I agree with you that work/life balance is always critical, now more than ever as we navigate the impacts of COVID-19 and working remotely full-time. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective here and for all the contributions that you’re making at Illumio. - Emily Couey, SVP of People

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.
