      Pros

      - Friendly engineering staff - Used to have free food in the office

      Cons

      - New product in 2020 feels half baked - Little investment in employees in terms of professional training - Some functional leaders (directors and VP) aren't actually experienced in their functions to lead, so they either actively sabotage other teams to shed responsibilities or make poor decisions. - Stressful/hostile environment at times. A few execs make swearing in every sentence a norm, which implicitly gave permission to some employees to act the same way.

      I’m very sorry to hear that you had some negative experiences. I did want to share that we’ve recently introduced professional coaching and training for our employees. And, while it’s in the early stages, the response is very positive and we’re excited to continue expanding these benefits. I do wish you the very best in your future endeavors and thank you. - 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.
