Pros

* A great company to join, not just because of the attractive cybersecurity space, but also for the great people in the organization. * Relative flat organization without bureaucracy hindering your innovative ideas. * Small company that is growing and scaling and getting ready for eventual IPO down the line. * Yes, you can make a difference in the company and also, make a difference for the customers too.

Cons

* Nothing so far (maybe missing out on the great free food, snacks, working with people, etc at the home office since I am remote).

Thanks for sharing your experience here as a relatively recent joiner - I'm so glad to hear that what you joined us for is matching how you've found the culture in practice. One of the things that resonate highly with our people - as you said - is that we're at a wonderful size of company, where we have product-market fit and brand recognition, while at the same time still being very much on the grow as an organization, such that every Illumineer has visible and tangible impact on our products and our culture as we scale. Please reach out when next you're at HQ and I'll be grateful for your continued insights - you have the leadership team's and my commitment that we'll stay true to the high quality bar for talent that we've set for ourselves as a company to ensure our culture of trust, accountability and mutual support helps us move onwards together! 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.
