They claim their culture is a homogeneity of loud extroverted opinionated engineers. It seems more like a cult of frat bros who would probably be managed out at faang companies. Curious how many ex faang engineers are at Twilio. A lot of the tech stack is still php, but they certainly dont have the level of tooling and infrastucture as Facebook.
I think our culture is good, the team is good, not bro-y
Can I get ref? 🙏🏾
All the engineers I know at Twilio are female but they're all humble and high calibre. Probably doesn't answer your question well though.
The ones I met were nothing but humble. They even said they were representative of Twilios culture.
Whoa whoa whoa there
"A lot of the tech stack is still php" [citation needed]
I'd say java is probably the top choice of languages here. The calibur of most of the engineers here is pretty high imo, I came in as senior and have learned a lot from the other senior/principals around me.
Also fwiw, and maybe it's my part of the org, but frat bro-y is certainly something I've never thought about any of my coworkers.
Most of the bro culture is gone now, our hiring bar is lower than faang but there’s definitely a lot of talented engineers... we don’t do a good job of removing poor performers tho
Look at their stock price. That certainly grew up.
