Pros

Potential to radically change data center security industry.

Cons

In the past six months, a lot of little things have changed and all for the worse. Now, the company feels like it has one giant problem - and, people do not want to work here anymore.

Illumio Response

It’s disheartening to hear that you have been left with a poor impression—and we realize that it may be impossible to restore your confidence. It’s true that we’ve undergone many changes as we’ve transitioned from a small start-up to a midsized industry contender. It’s also true that this came as the result of years of hard work bringing us into a unique position in the market place. How did we get there? Through focus on a single mission to help make our customers more secure, running to challenges, and solving lots of problems - including hard ones. All this to say, problems don’t intimidate us. They prompt us to take a step back, be introspective and reassess what we can do better but, ultimately, our determination in the face of problems and willingness to take on that challenge is part of what has produced the successes. If you decide to stick with us, you may get to be a part of making the evolutionary changes that are needed at this stage in our company. I also really encourage you to reach out directly to me or any member of our Leadership team to help us understand more fully the concerns that you have. I personally would like to understand better. We know that change is not always smooth and we're here to listen and work together to improve in all areas. We thank you for being a part of the Illumio team and helping us to create solutions and grow together. PJ Kirner, CTO and Founder

Pros

Product is addressing a real space in the market Plenty of funding to invest and drive growth Some truly great individuals to work with who want to make a difference

Cons

Management not coming clean on transition to mid-size company. I've seen many good people depart Illumio and with the company message..."This is normal"....turning over almost entire depts is normal? Some leaders at the top don't have the intelligence and skills to build a strong culture of success, teamwork and trust. The culture at Illumio has turned 180 from one where there was trust and collaboration...now it seems folks are constantly looking over their shoulder. Inflexibility of senior management and the Board, to correct course. The company has gone from huge potential to one that reeks of almost desperation to succeed in the marketplace.

Growing is hard

Pros

Really committed people Lots of talent here People Care Tons of Room to grow Lots of awareness of what we need to do A good place for ambitious driven people Very Humane A lot of dog-lovers Conservation efforts are ramping up

Cons

If you are a 10 person start up person, this is not your place If you like to work on hard problems and are open and curious you are in the right place You will not have an easy job, growing, changing is hard. No person is perfect and no group of people are perfect. Management needs to evolve and they will, but it takes time and hard work. They are people too. People are not perfect. If you want to work with a group of similar people, this is not your place Illumio is diverse, big differences in experience, many types of cultures, styles of working, many different viewpoints. All the diversity means it's hard to agree sometimes but that's OK. Be OK with the process. Lots of process and scale problems- that's where we are right now
