Pillagers are hostile towards players, iron golems, wandering traders, villagers and even Snow Golems. They will attack players with crossbows from a distance and they never run out of arrows. However, the crossbows may run out of durability. They will also follow the player if they get aggroed.

They will attack on sight and follow their target around. During raids they will also celebrate if they kill all the villagers in the village. Pillagers without a crossbow however become passive towards the players.

Iron Golems and Snow Golems are hostile towards them and will attack them on sight.
