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

I'm glad that you found value in Andrew's vision as our CEO, along with the quality of our products and your Illumineer colleagues.

The quality of our managers - and our employees' experiences - are top of mind for our entire leadership team. As many high performing companies do, we are prioritizing leadership development to ensure our people have the experience they expect and deserve. Wishing you all the best in your onward journey.

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.

Pros

Lots of training & sales skills development. Great SDR tech stack and AI use. Managers and field sales AEs support and collaborate with ADRs; and invest in our success. Promotion opportunities beginning to increase, including more AE roles. Travel opportunities to SKO, regional field marketing events, RSAC to meet with customers and partners. Cyber market heating up from Mythos and more interest in Illumio. Fun team mates!

Cons

There was a lot of change and new tools/campaigns coming at us in Q1, which was a little overwhelming and led to lots of distractions. Things seem to be settling now.

Thanks also for the feedback on the pace of change in Q1 - I agree that the onset of Mythos has increased the op tempo here, and the People team and your leaders are here to support you however we can.
