The hiring process was upfront and easy to understand from the start. HR laid out the high-level overview and timelines, and the hiring managers clearly communicated what was expected and any prep needed. Everything went smoothly and quickly, I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

My interview at Illumio involved several phone calls, an aptitude test, a personality assessment, and a half-day onsite interview. While the interviewers were smart and friendly, the process itself felt a bit disjointed compared to other companies. There were some confusing messages, significant delays, and changes to the process even after the final interview. I still think Illumio will do great things.

They were supportive about launching the territory and providing the necessary resources. The interviewers seemed to have a positive outlook. Overall, it was a really good experience.
