Pros

Very little pros bar stability for the short term as its a growing company. Salary is middle of the road and even though the company is growing very few chances for progression unless your former Salesforce

Cons

Very political, operationally a complete mess with a fake it till you make it mentality, claims its enterprise but its like a bunch of kids dress up. If your not former Salesforce your not in with the management clique and very unlikely to progress.

Pros

CEO and SLT seem genuine your peers are great and try to help SLT appear want to build an inclusive culture based on modern ideals

Cons

No idea about the APAC region and new, new, management have no better plan Cruel management who are happy to manipulate - ie build private confidence then twist it to their personal goals leaving you devastated Lack of accountability from management - If you ever thought HR was only on the manager's side then you will love Twilio. Ideals they lead at SLT are not even close to being delivered at a regional and local level

Fast-paced, disorganised, woke, hypocritical, tech leaders

Business outlook

Pros

Good pay & stock Good tech although not as market-leading as they think Benefits

Cons

Full of woke liberal global leadership, so - lots of soft "giving" options and personal-care days, but ruthless and ultimately uncaring. HR ineffective, local leadership good, global leadership mediocre. 12-16 hour days are regular Internal process support is MIA, product development is myopic and parochial. Be prepared to be used up - which is fair considering the pay & benefits - but at odds with the soft and inclusive aspirations of the culture.
