Illumio reviews

The executive leadership team have no strategy to speak of. It’s very clear they are all running their own game, and a lack of structure means progress is slow and decisions are not being made. This has lead to the middle managers bickering and driving a toxic culture between teams. They are making so much noise internally that they aren’t aware of what’s happening externally. Eventually I just gave up and resigned. I was tired of the negativity, and felt I wasn’t wasting my time.

Hard to describe where to start here as sadly there are many. The core of the issue in my experience is the sales organizational culture - I can only attest to sales in this regard, although I gather other teams such as finance have really been through it too. The number one reason illumio fail to retain staff is trust lack of trust from management to their peers, that they hired and put into senior positions but refuse to trust and empower them to own or fulfil their job role. Imagine a continual, condescending tone that demotivates each team member leading to extreme lack of productivity, pride and ability to work. Yes It’s harsh, but it’s true! Successful sales teams need to feel like they are working in an environment where they are respected and trusted. This was especially lacking in the EMEA territory which is a large market and should always do well. Sadly a localised weak and autocratic management function, led the business fail where it really should have thrived. Managing ‘up’ and not understanding sales or leadership will always lead to ultimate demise in productivity, ultimately due to poor selection of VP staff.
