Illuminate Education Reviews

Pros

Tech-company vibe to their corporate culture. Managers and recruiters find and hire personable and passionate talent. There are a lot of interesting people and we're encouraged to learn and grow at every turn.

Open space office, headquartered in Irvine, CA. Some may see this as a con, but former educators know how much of a cubicle farm district or office life can be. Orange County is suburbia at it's finest, but offers faster-paced life-styles in the denser down-towns of Costa Mesa or Santa Ana.

The company provides a surprising amount of mobility among job titles/roles. Great for employees looking for career growth.

Advice to Management

Reward our hardworking talent. "First person in, last person out" mentality should be rewarded, regardless if they're a manager or not.

Increase professional development opportunities for less outspoken team-members.

Pros

Creative synergy is encouraged through working with great team of former educators and first class developers

Pros

Working with people that believe in what we do, great benefits, great team and we are making a difference in education.

Advice to Management

Take care of your employees and they will take care of the rest. Trust that we are smart, talented people.

Pros

Work environment, people, and perks. If you are interested in education and doing the right thing for kiddos...This is a place for you.

Advice to Management

Continue the full company retreats! The last one was AMAZING!!!

Pros

It's easily the best company I've ever worked for. The compensation, benefits, and bonuses are all great. Management is thoughtful, strong, and loves to see people excel. Co-workers really enjoy what they are doing, and everyone has a well-defined purpose and sense that we are working to help students, teachers, and school administrators.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing, and never forget that your employees WANT to excel and grow.

Pros

Customers First! is our mantra. We are all passionately dedicated to serving our customers with a common zeal and vision.
I've noticed that employees are dedicated and work as a team with a common goal in mind.
Great company culture which is very caring and nurturing.

Pros

Illuminate has recently tripled in size but we continue to have an amazing culture, work ethic and benefits. This is the best company I have ever worked for and despite the big changes that we have been going through, that hasn't changed. Medical and Dental insurance is paid for you and your family. You have the ability to work remote. Our work has a true impact on the lives or the educators and students that we serve. Not only that, but I enjoy getting up and going to work every day. Even when there is a stressful deadline, the environment is fun and the people enjoyable. Without a doubt, I would recommend this company to to everyone I know.

Advice to Management

Continue to be transparent about the changes being made within the company. Strive to maintain the Legacy Illuminate family culture.

Pros

Emphasis on student and educator success is lived and breathed by all. Tremendous ocus on work/life balance. Great support from fellow team members and leaders.

Pros

* Amazing company culture. Illuminate has managed to maintain the important aspects of its culture through recent periods of significant growth and change.
* Management structure exists, but employees do not feel overly-monitored or babysat
* Strong "Team" atmosphere still prevails and employees truly care about helping each other.

Advice to Management

Stick with new processes in the face of resistance (whether it is internal or external). To grow, we must change, and we must stick with our adjustments long-term to realize their benefits.
