Pros

There are a lot of smart, communicative, inclusive people here. Twilions are willing to work with each other across teams and a lot of us work well together. Even those of us who didn’t work well together at first have managed to figure out how!

Cons

Some confusing management picks have been made. Some new management has displayed immature behavior, stonewalling & giving the cold shoulder to some, while loudly being friendly to others. It makes the work environment uncomfortable. Other management changes have included replacing someone with amazing experience with another person with very little. This feels hostile and it feels like all the work I’ve done since starting means nothing to these new people. I had hoped to stay here for years, but I’m not sure I want to do that. I’ve tried to talk to multiple people in management about my concerns, but have been brushed off. I used to feel like I actually mattered here. Not the case anymore.

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?
