Pros

Great product, technical leaders in their field and generally a lot of good friendly people to work with. CEO has a strong vision

Cons

There's no career growth Favoritism Lack of diversity The sales leaders will micromanage you - this is a very admin heavy company and you’ll be doing tasks for the sake of it

Pros

The people I worked with at Illumio were truly fantastic — smart, supportive, and highly collaborative. The team culture at the peer level was one of the best parts of my experience.

Cons

Unfortunately, the management structure was very top-down. Leadership often felt out of touch with the realities of day-to-day work, and most major decisions were driven by the need to copy other products that were already on the market. This created a bottleneck for progress and made it difficult for teams to feel empowered or trusted to innovate. Despite the talent and dedication of the design and engineering groups, the lack of autonomy and over-centralized direction often stalled momentum and limited creativity. If Illumio can find a way to empower its teams and shift toward a more trust-driven, bottom-up culture, it could be an incredible place to work.

Hi there and thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. I'm so glad that - even during your short time with us - you enjoyed the people here. I agree that our Illumineers are some of the very best in the business, and the colleagues with whom we work really make the experience both productive and special. Thanks also for your feedback on where you see our areas of opportunity within the group you worked. If you're open to it, I'd love to connect real-time to hear more about specific things that you experienced that we could uses as focus points going forward. Wishing you all the best in your onwards journey and please keep in touch as we continue to build! Thanks, David Chief People Officer
