Pros

The people here are smart and driven. I like how the company does a very thorough job onboarding a new hire. They provide onboarding series that you can attend that are hosted by the executive team where you can learn about the history of Twilio and the different departments within Twilio and how they operate which I found really beneficial. Another cool aspect is that for the non-technical folks, there is a week bootcamp that you can attend where they will basically teach you how to create an app on the Twilio platform. This is a great open environment where everyone is pretty friendly. The management here are transparent with what is going on and everyone wants to help you succeed. The CEO hosts a biweekly company all hands. The team I work on is great where I have a manager and a team that are not only supportive but is providing me insight to help me develop and grow and allows me to take ownership and autonomy on what I want to work on and do with my role. I've worked at many companies before both large and small and I'm really thankful to be here at Twilio because for me it's been a great balance.

Cons

Typically start up growing pains where more infostructure needs to be put in place and processes developed. It's definitely the type of environment for those that are driven, curious and willing to speak up/ask questions and execute on ideas. You have to be willing to adapt quickly as with most start ups as it is a fast paced environment. Not sure how they came up with the lunch schedule but its only 2-3 times a week which I wish was everyday but there's plenty of snacks available.

Pros

An avalanche of leads every month. Very little outbound needed. Great companies just show up. Great API's and Developer relations is the gold standard. Good perks, fun place and people.

Cons

The company has no respect for any work done outside of Product or Development. Sales is a necessary evil. 4 or 5 Chief Sales Leaders in less than two years. Current leader is remote and powerless. They let industry experts go.
