Pros

The company is still small enough that pretty much everyone knows everyone else.

Cons

The company is still small enough that you can figure out exactly who left most of the "anonymous" reviews. Not everyone will be honest under those circumstances.

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback, and to your service to Illumio and our customers. I agree that our company - and our culture - is oriented toward helping everyone feel like a local, even from their first weeks with us. I like that we bring our "Onwards, Together" core value to life in a way that folks can feel and see, both at events like our recent FY25 Onwards kickoff meeting and in our everyday work. Thanks also for your feedback on communication about the company's next steps. In this week's All Hands, we were proud to share the details of all our goals this year, with speed and transparency that I haven't seen in other companies. As we achieve those goals this FY together, the exec team and I are confident in our continued progress as a company that delivers predictable, reliable results in service of our partners and customers. Thanks again for your feedback - please keep it coming! 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.

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
