Pros

* The growth potential is huge as the company has established a solid foothold in the evergreen security market. * Illumio is not too small to be fragile and hectic and not too large to be slow and sleepy. This goldilocks zone is perfect for building your career while keeping your sanity. * Exceptional awareness to work/life balance, driven by a well-managed release process. * People are happy to help and have plenty of patience for newbies. * The company is growing fast and this involves some growing pains; that’s normal and expected.

Cons

* The company is relatively small, so lateral movement opportunities are limited.

Having worked for organizations that are %E2%80%9Csmall, fragile, hectic%E2%80%9D and ones that are %E2%80%9Cbig, slow, sleepy,%E2%80%9D I agree that Illumio is in that sweet spot. There are times when we ask our employees to dive in but there are also times where we prioritize stamina. After all, we%E2%80%99re here for the long-game and we recognize that our team is the reason that we%E2%80%99re here in the first place. Your peace of mind is important%E2%80%94but also your enduring enthusiasm and determination. It%E2%80%99s what Illumio is fueled on. Thank you for the thoughtful perspective you bring to Illumio and the insights you%E2%80%99ve offered up here. We%E2%80%99re very fortunate to count you a member of our team.

Pros

* Very high caliber team - everyone is wicked sharp at what they do. You will be challenged - bring your A game! * A fun and diverse team - good mix of fresh college grads and seasoned veterans, provides a good mix of fresh energy with industry experience. * Building a real company. We are creating something new - this is not a "20% better" version of an existing product category. It is a brand new product category that requires hard work, perseverance, and creativity across all parts of the organization. * Impressive list of customers for such an early stage company.

Cons

* Not the right fit for everyone - creating something new is hard work and requires flexibility and adaptability. * Moving fast sometimes results in not all parts of the organization being aligned

Pros

A product that has a good TAM and fills a real need in the market place Tons of funding...Nobody has ever told me to watch my travel expenses :) Sales is the leading function here...take a back seat y'all

Cons

Complete lack of trust in some of the e-staff. (yes folks here talk about this) Some functions (finance is the one that comes to mind) seem to have low morale and do not respond (had a question on something and nobody replied to me...even after 3 tries..lame lame lame) The culture here is one directional. Feedback is discounted and ignored

First, thanks for taking time to review us. And, I agree with your view that we have a tremendous market potential and a product that addresses it well. Nobody in the field should ever have their requests for help ignored and I’m sorry you had that experience. I hope you’ll come to me or someone on the leadership team if this happens again. I also hope you’ll share your feedback with me as well. All of us are very interested in the experience of our field teams so we can make it easier for us to compete and win in the market. I am sincere about that. I’d like to know what you think. Illumio is in the middle of an exciting transition as we move from start-up to an established, mid-sized company. As it happens, our ways of connecting and communicating can take a hit during these times. In response to this, we’ve expanded our channels for anonymous feedback and questions. We’ve added more sessions for executives and employees to have face time. And we’re continuing to think of new and creative ways to keep the 'start-up feel' even as we grow. The company as a whole is focusing inward and committed to listening to all employees, in all locations, and across all levels. We know that there is always room for improvement and I hope that, with your help, we can identify those areas more quickly. Thank you for your contributions to Illumio and I do hope we can talk soon.
