Illuminate Education Reviews

Pros

At Illuminate employees are stakeholders, not just employees. We are empowered to function as owners. Everyone cares deeply about the work we do and takes personal ownership in helping us continually improve our product and services.

Advice to Management

Keep trusting us and empowering us to do our best work. What we have is something special!

Pros

1. Autonomy - We have a fair amount of autonomy when it comes to solving an issue for a client.

2. Critical Thinking - Each day is a different set of questions and challenges which require the use of critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

3. Team - In my previous role it was a small organization so we had to know a little about everything. Illuminate allows you to truly become an expert in the various areas while being able to learn all of the areas and utilize the people around you to grow in the knowledge of the system.

4. Family - Truly a family environment where everyone cares about one another.

5. Culture - The culture is what drives Illuminate and that culture has been set from the top down but it is everyone at every level keeping the culture, mission, and vision true.

Advice to Management

Continue with the pathway that we are on with peer reviews and self-driven work environment. As we grow we need to make sure that we continue to not forget where we came from as a company and look to hire those who exemplify those characteristics that have made us successful.

Pros

Illuminate let's you be the best version of yourself, let's you be a grown up by picking your most functional hours of efficiency and even let's you contribute to who is on the team you work with. We are encouraged to speak up, be problem solvers, and own our actions.

Advice to Management

We don't have managers only leaders and stakeholders. Our leaders shift and change as projects and needs arise. My only advice to my peers is to run with the project you believe in, rally the team you need, and there's no such thing as over-communicating. Having so many inspiring people to work alongside is what makes me love what I do!
