Pros

Illumio has an excellent ground breaking product that solves hard security challenge the industry is facing. Illumio Sunnyvale HQ offers great culture and work life balance. Teams are motivated to ship a quality product with highest integrity. Plenty of cultural events hosted to make this place fun. I highly recommend working here.

Cons

Illumio offers free food all days. Sometimes there are not enough choices for people on restrictive diet.

It’s great to hear that you’ve experienced first-hand the great culture we strive for here and the innovative solution we've worked hard to craft for our customers. I’m glad you’ve also seen just how motivated we are to do all of it with integrity, and while never perfect, it is something I personally try to improve day in and day out. Regarding your comment on choices for the free lunches, please let a member of our facilities team know what options you’d like to see. We appreciate your perspective, your insights and more than anything your contributions to our success!

It’s great to hear that you’re excited to be at Illumio and that you're enjoying the work environment; the autonomy, work-life balance, high-impact innovation. The food is fuel to keep the rest working well ;-)). I also hope that you are finding an opportunity to connect with other teams now that you've been here longer and we’re settled in the new HQ. Please feel free to reach out to me or any member of my team—let’s grab lunch and find ways to make the working environment even better for you and the rest of the team. We work best when we leverage the collective insights and wisdom of the entire team

Pros

* For a Valley employer they have terrific benefits * Superior solution looking for a problem to solve * The appearance of great people to work with * The appearance of growth

Cons

* Diversity is entirely absent from field sales (remarkably different from the inclusive approach taken by nearly every other employer today) * Leadership struggles with applying corporate values with reasonable consistency * If you are different from others you won't make it here, this company demands conformity without exception * Inexperienced management populates the ranks from top to bottom

Thanks for your post. Since you are currently working here I’d love to connect with you 1:1 and talk more about your observations, concerns and ideas. As leaders here we are far from perfect. As hard as we try to get things right, sometimes we don’t. One thing we can do is change things when they aren’t working and to do that we have to be open to feedback from the people on our team. Technology markets evolve in a predictable way. There are very specific stages that a product category goes through on it’s journey to a mainstream market. We’re on that journey. What’s not predictable is the time that journey takes. Sometimes it takes longer than everyone thinks it will take or hopes it will take. But, that doesn’t make it the “Betamax” of network segmentation. Our product and our approach to segmentation is now proven in some of the largest and most complex and demanding IT environments in the world – global banks, webscale tech companies and dozens of industry leaders. The product works at very large scale, accommodates a heterogenous environment and brings with it deep operational experience by our support, services and customer success teams. We are way past Betamax. Our field has diversity. Our stats show this. Could we do better? Yes! Do we intend to improve? Yes! One of this company’s core values lies in leveraging our differences. And that is as true for our field organization as it is for our entire company. I hope you’ll come and talk to us about your concerns and your ideas. We aren’t perfect and we don’t have everything completely figured out. But we are open-minded and eager for ideas that can make us better and stronger.
