Thanks for taking time to share your brief feedback as a member of our Sales team, and I'm glad that you're enjoying the colleagues you're working with. Given that you're still with the company, I'd be grateful for a few minutes of your time if you'd be willing to share some confidential feedback directly with me on where specifically you see where we can improve in terms of your own direct management/leadership. We have bright future ahead here at Illumio, and I'd like to see where I can help to position you for the experience you deserve as an Illumineer. Feel free to reach out on email or Slack at your convenience and we'll make some time soon, or connect in person at Onwards! next month. Thanks, David Chief People Officer

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

Questionable Leadership, High Turnover, and Lack of Direction – Stay Away

Anonymous employee

Pros

Some genuinely smart and talented people who try to make things work. Flexibility in work hours, and remote options available for some teams.

Cons

Terrible leadership: The company’s leadership is completely out of touch. The C-suite is either overwhelmed or disengaged, and decision-making feels directionless at best. The most glaring example is the CMO, who lasted only a few months before leaving, which says a lot about the stability (or lack thereof) at the top. High turnover: The sales department is a revolving door – people come and go constantly, at all levels. This creates a toxic environment where no one feels safe or secure in their job. Many of the salespeople leave because there’s no clear path to success or support from leadership. Team dysfunction: Engineering teams are constantly at odds with each other. Disagreements are frequent, and there’s no effort from leadership to resolve conflicts. This only worsens team morale and productivity. Lack of accountability: Complaints and feedback from employees rarely get addressed in a meaningful way. Instead, management uses buzzwords like "investing in training" as a smokescreen to distract from the underlying issues. It's all talk and no action, and any positive changes are only temporary. No clear future: The company has no real direction or strategy to go public. It’s been hinted that they might IPO, but the lack of stability, constant restructuring, and lack of clear leadership make it painfully obvious that it's not going to happen anytime soon. Cultural decline: The company’s culture has changed dramatically over the past year. The "champions of culture" who once led the charge to build a positive, collaborative, and supportive environment have mysteriously disappeared, leaving a vacuum where a once-great culture used to be. Now, the culture is draining — it’s toxic, fragmented, and filled with burnout. It feels like everyone is just trying to get by rather than working toward a shared vision.

Hi there and thanks for sharing your feelings on the time you spent at Illumio. While I'm not sure how long it's been you moved on from the company (our prior CMO was here for over 3 years, and our new CMO just started this month), a number of the concerns you mentioned are areas where we've been focusing over the past year+. Overall, in our most recent employee engagement survey, we had a 92% response rate, with our year-on-year engagement scores improving by 300 basis points, and our overall engagement meaningfully outpacing the peer benchmark scores. In the past year, we've introduced a goal setting process, a performance feedback and conversation process, and a new company-wide learning management system (LMS). While our points of view may differ, from the feedback we've gotten - and my own perspective - the company's culture and future have never been brighter or stronger in our 12-year history. Thanks again for your time serving Illumio, and wishing you all the best in your onward journey! David Chief People Officer
