Pros

Poised to go big. Senior tech leaders that know very well what they are doing, and you can learn a lot from. Very well financed.

Cons

Toxic cutthroat culture that emanates from the top. Using climbing metaphor CEO often brings up, too focused on climbing the peak and will cut your rope without a second thought. Therefore high turn-over rate in sales (check linkedin for past employees).

Pros

Transparent, open culture – Illumio emphasizes honesty and direct communication, even on tough topics Recognition-driven environment – wins are celebrated across teams and employees are recognized by peers and leadership Collaborative + partnership mindset – teams operate with accountability and strong cross-functional alignment Inclusive and diverse workplace – strong emphasis on belonging, varied backgrounds, and different perspectives

Cons

High standards, accountability, and pressure to perform Not necessarily negative—but can feel intense depending on the team/role. Change happens often if you don't like change you will not like it here. I love change and I love that we are always trying to improve or be better. 401(k) plan without company matching- this is normal for our stage and employee count but candidates mention this alot. I wanted to flag it. They do give us a retirement savings account and mine is doing well but no match.
