Hi there and thanks for your input; I'll follow up with the Glassdoor team to understand how/where they are making folks submit feedback, and at the same time, we welcome all feedback as fuel that helps us grow and continue to improve for our people and our customers. I agree with you that our tech is top-notch, in which our customers continue to find value. Our senior leadership team - to include our new CMO - has never been stronger and our people have told us they're grateful for the level to which our execs and leaders really know the business and take an active leadership role leading from the front. In terms of our CEO, I can confidently say that we are especially fortunate to have a leader who is closer to the customers, the market, and our solutions than most any CEO I've seen. Thanks again for sharing your feedback - I'm sorry you felt like Glassdoor was forcing you to submit it. More importantly, thank you for your time when you were with us here at the company. Wishing you all the best going forward! 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.
