Illustria is a diamond in the rough - Anonymous employee Illustria Employee Review

I've been at Illustria for a while now. I've seen all the good sides and the negative sides - every company has them - and I can confidently say, "This is an amazing place to be." I love the growth that I've had here in the last couple of years (if you seek it out, I guarantee that you will find it), I'm surrounded by passionate/brilliant/awesome colleagues, and I know that we will continue on this upwards path. These are not simply "fluffy" words coming out of my mouth. At one point in time, I felt negatively about Illustria. In the past, we were a young startup, filled with (at the time) young people, who were figuring it all out. There were naturally some hard moments as we stepped on each others' toes, but I am glad I chose to commit and trust in the leadership here. Illustria is incredibly adaptive and always bent on always becoming better-both as individuals and as a company. This is exemplified in our CEO, who is a living and breathing example. She is one of the most intelligent people I know with sharp instincts to make wise business decisions. At the same time, she humbly listens to and accepts the feedback of the team around her. I completely trust in her leadership. On culture: we had a necessary shift in the earlier half of 2017, which inevitably introduced some discomfort, but it was the best move Illustria could have made for the health of the company. Fast-forward to today, I love our team, and I'm excited by the work we're doing for our Members. We have become a stronger team and company that creates valuable work for our Members. I couldn't be prouder.

There is a great deal of ownership in whatever position you're in. You will be expected to pull your weight, which can either inspire and motivate you, or intimidate you. If you want a static environment where things are very set in stone and clearly laid out for you, Illustria may not be the right fit.

* Love working here and the team they have here. I've only been here a couple of months, but people are friendly and fun to be around. We work hard but things are all fairly relaxed. * They're working to bring in a lot of new and exciting clients as we continue to grow! * Management is very supportive, understanding, and always at least listens to any feedback or concerns. They genuinely care about every member of the team.

* Since its a startup that's growing rapidly, there will be growing pains, but things are improving every month and management tries to make improvements as we grow. With a 20+ person team, they are putting in more structure that is necessary for smoother operation but also still giving flexibility. * Also due to growth, more people coming and going (full time and interns) as the team continues to expand, so more shuffling around than other more established companies, but things are definitely headed in the right direction. * The new hire process can be a bit more structured, but they have collected feedback about this and are implementing improvements going forward.
