Hi there and I love your review's headline - I certainly agree with your summary, and am personally grateful for what you and your SE colleagues do for our customers and our company. You get to see our tech up close and personal as it helps customers achieve their goals, all of which is made possible by the smart Illumineers we have across the globe, as you mention. I also agree with you that we're a fast growing company, and sometimes folks dislike the pace of evolution and development in an environment like ours. We're doing our best to support everyone through the change journey, and are open to feedback on where and how we can continue to do better, to include making sure everyone across the career spectrum - as you mention - has a voice and a seat at the table. As you know, we're in the middle of our goal-setting process, and soon we'll kick off our 360-degree feedback process, followed by our mid-year employee engagement survey. Across the leadership team, we'll be paying close attention to what we hear from Illumineers and we'll work to implement the best and most prominent ideas. Thanks for keeping the feedback coming! 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.

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.
