Pros

Twilio has BY FAR the most wonderful culture out of all the companies I've ever worked for. Every employee lives by the Twilio values, and there is a lot of cross-department collaboration. The benefits and perks are also unparalleled. The company's success is growing also - the product is applicable to any customer. Twilio.org is also an entire department of the company that is dedicated to community service and involvement.

Cons

Because the company is growing so fast, there are days that are chaotic, and there is a lot of ambiguity. However, everyone around you wants you to succeed, so they're open to helping out as much as possible.

Pros

Comp is fair, benefits are okay. If you are lucky with a low maintenance book of business you can clock roughly 20 hours a week and hit all your goals. I saw this happen to multiple sellers over my tenure.

Cons

The reason I left was in Jan 2026 they re-orged all of the Segment business unit into Twilio. We went from being traditional Segment SaaS sellers to Twilio Account Managers. You have no prospects only existing clients. You spend your day in Zendesk managing tickets, there are zero actual sales activities. Your quota is comprised of organic revenue growth that would occur whether you existed or not. Upside is limited. - Leadership Churn: I worked here for 16 months and during that time I had 5 managers. They couldn't hang onto anyone. - No review or raise during my 16 months here, despite exceeding my quota. - Promotions: you cannot just crush in your role and get promoted. There needs to be a promotion spot available somewhere in your business unit and then you compete with other sellers for it. Your role will not change, your accounts and clients will not change, only your comp will. So why the limited promotion availability?
