The culture is very employee-focused. There is a strong attention to understanding that employees have more going on in their lives than just their career. Management strongly encourages that staff do not work on weekends or holidays. A great example is the closure of the office for the week before New Year's Day to allow staff to spend time with families during the holiday season. As another example, I am allowed to work from home several days per week as my commute is typically 3 hours round trip. This is a huge benefit to my personal time, and one that previous employers did not allow.

Our clients love us. We recently released a magazine including many thought pieces about the future of energy efficiency and the industry and it has been extremely well received. Numerous clients and other consultancies have complimented us on the magazine and its content.

I moved to ILLUME about two years ago, and it's been an excellent move. The owners are sensitive to finding a balance between work and life. The whole company works to provide a collaborative and non-competitive environment. We share celebrations of our personal and professional achievements on slack and team meetings. It's just a lovely place to work. Finally, when my colleagues and I were concerned with training our analysts, the company decided to pay for everyone in the company to attend a three-day training that we developed. That type of investment is huge, and I love that ILLUME sees the value in it.

ILLUME strives to and continues to attain a diverse culture. The energy industry is not very diverse, and senior management at ILLUME continue to seek out diverse applicants and diverse ways of thinking. Further, the company takes a social justice perspective - both in the work we do and in how the company behaves. We give to charities both local and national to fund projects that boost diversity or help underrepresented groups. We're also empowered to speak up and bring ideas to senior management. This year the owners also decided to make election day a holiday so we could vote without stress. Generally speaking, we are a very diverse bunch and we revel in the diversity and want to foster it.

Illume just does things differently than the other companies we share a space with. In a field that's fairly resistant to change, Illume isn't afraid to approach things with a diffrent perspective.

Because we draw from such a deep and diverse well of talent, we're able to turn research questions into interesting stories for our clients. We tell deeply researched, data-driven stories; and we do it well.

There are many companies that pay a lot of lip service to diversity and work life balance. ILLUME walks the walk. If I travel in the field and work long days, my managers reach out to me and tell me to take days off once field work is complete. Additionally, I'm never pressured to work long hours. On the contrary, managers actively shuffle work loads so as to not overly burden a single individual. There is so much flexibility and I believe that's why we have so many working mothers on our team. The company recognizes that life just happens and sometimes you need to unexpectedly take the day off. I don't have to clear it with a manager if I want time off. They treat us like the responsible and trusting adults that we are.
