Pros

Good culture and welcoming coworkers. I felt like my manager valued my professional growth and would often ask if I'd like to join in on any projects to gain new skills.

Cons

Really expensive to live in the Bay Area and you have to go into the office a few times a week.

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback on your experience here at Illumio! I'm glad that your coworkers and manager made yours a great experience as you both grew and contributed during your time here. As we've moved to a defined hybrid approach to work at HQ, the feedback from our colleagues has been good - folks are enjoying both the opportunity to work from home a couple days a week, and also to see other Illumineers a couple days a week in the office for 1:1's, lunches, and those hallway conversations that so many of us missed over the past couple years! Wishing you all the best for your continued success, and please do keep in touch! Thanks, David Chief People Officer

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.
