Pros

Great pay and great product. I think the CEO is strong and they communicate fairly well.

Cons

Management on the sales side was lackluster. Filled with people who only care about their own agenda. "What's in it for me" kind of people. They played favorites and spun stories to higher ups to make them look good. Took credit for things the team did to put them in a better position for their career. Very poor decisions were made to give a managerial position to someone with no experience in management or the role they were managing. HR couldn't care less about lower level concerns or input.

I’m sorry to hear that despite a strong belief in our product and our leadership you had a negative experience with sales management. It’s true that we do sometimes give opportunities to those who have proven themselves, seeking to promote from within first, but that doesn’t excuse the behavior that you have described. If you were still with the company, I’d invite you to reach out to me so that we could listen and learn more. Still, I thank you for sharing your perspective, and I do want to assure you that it will be shared with the right people to help drive improvement for all.

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.
