Pros

Awesome people! Hands down the best people I have worked for until now. CEO and the company on the whole is very energetic which makes you feel that your contributions actually matter. Definitely do not miss a chance to work here! People here think from the perspective of customers experience and actually strive to make it better (One of their core principles). I have never seen any company take this as serious as Twilio does.

Cons

I cannot think of one, but if I have to say something, I would may be wish to have better employee benefits such as a better health insurance, commuter checks, etc
