Pros

Incredible technology, vision, leadership, culture and execution. Absolutely love working with our clients and am addicted to the "a ha moment" they inevitably have when they realize that Twilio can solve real, compelling and meaningful business challenges that they have been suffering through for years. Love the people here and I love the opportunity that each of us has to genuinely move the needle each and every day. So incredibly proud to be a part of this team and so blessed to have punched my ticket for this incredible rocket ship ride. GOOOO TWILIO!

Cons

Some, very minor growing pains associated with this meteoric rise to $1B and beyond. However that is to be expected. And management works quickly and diligently to address them. That is really all you can ask for.

Thanks for your review! The Sales org has really grown in the last year and our GTM strategy is exciting. We have had the opportunity to add some significant talent to the team and their contributions are paying off already.

Pros

Comp is fair, benefits are okay. If you are lucky with a low maintenance book of business you can clock roughly 20 hours a week and hit all your goals. I saw this happen to multiple sellers over my tenure.

Cons

The reason I left was in Jan 2026 they re-orged all of the Segment business unit into Twilio. We went from being traditional Segment SaaS sellers to Twilio Account Managers. You have no prospects only existing clients. You spend your day in Zendesk managing tickets, there are zero actual sales activities. Your quota is comprised of organic revenue growth that would occur whether you existed or not. Upside is limited. - Leadership Churn: I worked here for 16 months and during that time I had 5 managers. They couldn't hang onto anyone. - No review or raise during my 16 months here, despite exceeding my quota. - Promotions: you cannot just crush in your role and get promoted. There needs to be a promotion spot available somewhere in your business unit and then you compete with other sellers for it. Your role will not change, your accounts and clients will not change, only your comp will. So why the limited promotion availability?
