ILLUME Advising has a commitment to its employees' quality of life that I have never seen in another company. At the same time, every single person here is passionate about what we do, specifically about being at the forefront of energy efficiency.
Current Employee - Analyst
I have highly recommended ILLUME to many of my friends because ILLUME offers incredible flexibility, they trust their employees to work independently and with integrity. I enjoy working in an environment where I am constantly learning, being challenged, and have opportunities to grow. Additionally, I appreciate the diverse background of everyone who works here and ILLUME's commitment high quality research.
Employee - Analyst / Associate / Consultant
This company lives out it's values. They are deeply committed to social justice, equality, fairness, and creating work environments that support healthy lives. I could not be happier! I am thankful everyday that I get to work with such incredible leaders. I feel I am constantly learning from them and I am so impressed with their tenacity, their hard work, their intelligence. Besides that they are super fun, playful and engaged in their communities. I'm such a fan!

ILLUME has a culture of creativity, a culture of kindness, a culture of excellence and a culture of appreciation. Our recent staff retreat was such a wonderful example. They held the retreat in a beautiful lake house rather than around a conference table, which made us feel like a family. We started the day talking about everyone's Super Powers--which was such a positive and fun way to start off. It is especially important to feel connected when we have so many remote offices and telecommuters.

I recommend this company in all of my professional networks! When you work at ILLUME you feel like you are an important part of something exciting. The feeling I have of being valued and engaged is due in large part to the culture that the founders have created; a culture of creativity, a culture of kindness, a culture of excellence and a culture of appreciation. They live their values in every decision. They don't just pay lip service to allowing for a true work-life balance, they insist on it. They remind people to take their vacation, to feel free to take a break to pick up their kids, to flex their schedules if a project has been particularly grueling. The way they invest in their employees speaks volumes. When I was applying, I was expecting the usual haggle over salary (which women tend to always get the short end of the stick with) but instead they asked for a range and gave me the top of the range! That was such a testament to me that ILLUME is a different type of company-- they don't nickel and dime their employees, they truly support them. Recently, after some really difficult projects they surprised with a spot bonus just in appreciation of the extra effort I put into the project. This was a brilliant move, aside from being very appreciated! At a point where they knew I might be discouraged they turned it into a moment of celebration. I will stick with them for many years as a result of that simple move. As a woman, so often our efforts are either a) not recognized or b) recognition never turn into financial gains. At ILLUME they are so conscientious that they do this as part of their regular business.
Employee - Director
Anne and Sara are building a strong company that values staff both professionally and personally and works to make the world a better place.
Employee - Director
The staff and leadership are all positive and working towards a common goal of making the world a better place through energy efficiency. Everyone works hard but also takes the appropriate moments to share a joke, a good story, or life conversations. I also feel that I can always talk to anyone and that I can work through problems or issues in a positive manner with all staff.
Employee - Director
The owners believe in hiring good people, paying them well, and providing a positive, collaborative work environment. They are extremely supportive of work-life balance and strongly encourage staff to take the time they need for family, vacation, and down-time. They do so as they put their trust in the team that they will ensure they get their work done on time. Anne and Sara also rely on their team to help them build the organization - I feel like my input is valued and helps drive the organization forward.
Employee - Manager / Senior Manager
Incredible culture - everyone is valued equally, no matter level of seniority. Emphasis on work-life balance. Amazingly supportive team.
