Pros

What can I say? Twilio is a company that truly caught me by surprise. I've worked in all types of environments from agencies, large corporations, to companies creating products – none them come close to Twilio in how they treat their employees, the culture, the CEO, and the innovation. I feel like I "dated" a bunch of different jobs and finally found my dream job. That's not an exaggeration.

Things I love:

• Cool office space in downtown SF

• Friendly co-workers, humble yet good at what they do. No one makes you feel dumb if they have more experience than you. People want to help.

• Competitive salary, RSU's, great benefits for a super low cost for families, quarterly raises, unlimited vacation (with manager approval), weekly dinners and lunches, fridges and shelves stocked with drinks and snacks.

• Making really cool stuff, innovating, and being empowered and trusted to do your job – not micromanaged.

• Work from home option – this is especially important to me since I live in Sacramento and can only come in once or once every other week to the SF office.

• Great upper management – my boss is a fantastic leader (very hard to find) who empowers you to do your job, is concerned with your growth, and would help you grow in your skillset and career path no matter if you stayed at Twilio or left. That's the sign of great leadership.

• Great home/life balance – my manager has made it clear he doesn't want us working over our 8 hours in our work days. That rarely happens if ever in a tech company. I appreciate that and so does my family.

• Trending up – Twilio is growing like crazy, acquiring other software companies and taking the market by storm. That's exciting to be a part of.

Advice to Management

As the company continues to grow in 2019 and beyond don't be afraid to let it, but keep the identity and the culture that Jeff Lawson (CEO) created when the company was much smaller.
I think if the core values and the culture is maintained during the growth period I think Twilio will continue to be a special place to work.
