      Great product, toxic culture

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Executive leadership 2. Passionate and smart engineers 3. A product area with very few competitors

      Cons

      All the cons are related to Engineering 1. Toxic Engineering culture where all engineers (and Product management) need to bow to one long-standing engineer else risk get shot down 2. Collaboration with other folks on your work is strongly discouraged. This culture makes every person fend for himself/herself 3. The concept of Team work is implicitly discouraged. 4. Cliques are the order of the day. Loudest voices silence out other voices. 5. Domineering behavior by some individuals in presence of management is ignored or actions taken (if any) have no effect. 7. Engineering management is feckless at best and apathetic at worst 8. Mix of arcane, obscure, and obsolete technologies with some new ones. The obscure technology stack and obstinacy to change is what is driving productivity down tremendously. I wouldn't recommend this to any of my friends or acquaintances. Time for me to leave this toxic ship

      Thanks for your candid and detailed feedback, both positive and negative. Direct feedback is what enables an individual and an organization to learn and grow. The engineering culture that you describe is not what we want, nor in any way encourage. It’s my experience that a culture like that hinders innovation and progress and rarely results in success. I strongly believe that a component of our success is due to the fact that we’ve worked hard to empower our employees and teams. I’d encourage you to raise your concerns directly to the highest levels in the company. As a small company, leadership at Illumio is accessible to everyone, and is very open to feedback from employees. If you reach out, your concerns will be heard and addressed. Ben Verghese, VP of Engineering

      I appreciate you sharing your candid feedback, including voicing areas for improvement. While it's disappointing to hear that your experience at Illumio is not what you hoped for so far, we rely on our team to spot issues early and often and to share feedback so we can address challenges. We strongly believe that the only way to solve problems is to voice them and work together as a team to fix them. If we don’t know, we can’t fix them. I am asking and encouraging you to come directly to me right away and spend the time to explain what you are disappointed in and what you want to see change. I guarantee you and every other member of the Illumio team that I will listen, take the good and the bad feedback and we will ensure to respond and/or change whenever possible. To that end, we hope you will participate in opportunities to provide feedback, such as the annual Benefits Survey, as we rely on employee feedback to help shape our benefits offerings. Maintaining 100% company paid employee medical coverage has been a commitment since founding the Company and I am curious to learn the specific areas you feel our benefits fall short. We realize and recognize that we are all working hard as a team to fulfill our goals. Please know that we are all in this together and value the team’s hard work and ongoing dedication to Illumio’s mission. Should you have more detail you would like to share directly with me, please email me to set-up time right away. Andrew Rubin, CEO and Founder
