Pros

You'll work with some of the smartest people you've ever met, both internally and externally. Polyglots, ML and AI engineers, language researchers and translation professionals - all intelligent and driven people who are kind to boot. Also, in my experience, there's a lot of trust as long as you get sh*t done and hold yourself to a standard. The company is ambitious so it's not a "minimum effort" kinda ride. More recently, there's been a whole host of very experienced people both within, and being brought in to, the business - and their voices are being amplified, which is a large part of the direction trend. Pay is decent and progression can be had, although can be dependent on your areas' structure and who you sit under; make sure it aligns with your personal goals and the progression is there if you want it.

Cons

There has been a period of change, and the ripples are still settling; but the intentions are good and getting better all the time. It's a company in it's late teenage years - it's learned some lessons and gone through the growing pains, just don't expect everything to be 100% ironed out. An example is that documentation can still be lacking due to the rapid growth, but an open culture makes up for it. Be prepared to build a boat as you sail on it, and just speak to others.

Pros

Based on reviews, the company is up and coming and seems to have potential. People are really down to earth and seem to have fun...some times too much fun!

Cons

Lots of layers of leadership Can't trust HR - don't listen to all sides So many people from Twillio, the company should be called DeepL-Twillio
