I heard good things about Twilios culture and decided to give them a shot. Hands down the worst interview I’ve ever had. It was like walking into a frat house during initiation week. Interviewers were loud, bragged talking highly of themselves, and kept trying to interrupt me. For example, I mentioned I designed a system to handle x concurrent users, and the interviewer interrupted me and said the last system he designed handled more. I’ve never witnessed anything like it. They were also the least technically impressive engineers I’ve come across. Only the manager was normal. Is Twilio really this bad or did I somehow just get the worst batch of interviewers?

Screw it. Don't care anymore. Let Israel take it. One state solution.
The former.
I felt the same while interviewing with Lyft.
The culture at lyft is great. Everyone is humble and willing to help others. What role did you interview for?
Culture at Lyft is so GREAT that I am interviewing with other companies like Twilio, and care enough to critique them on anonymous forums. ~OP

It is worse than low ime
I had the same experience with Lyft, interviewed for a L5 position
Twilio culture sucks! I worked there and they only want to squeeze you with work and a lot of unnecessary meetings
I heard it heard relatively good wlb? Your referring to US?
I’ve had that experience talking to many Segmenters. A few are nice and completely reasonable but it’s common and accepted to hear that segments achievements are far superior. The financials are not showing that, segments tech stack is more modern compared to twilio “classic”
It is bad. We hired 4000 folks on last 2 years. It sucks right now. Even our executive team.
Didn’t have that experience, but I declined their offer due to it being too low. An option if u value full remote though
Frugality is one of their príncipes
Good you declined. There are troves of people who are quitting. We had very high attrition compared to other companies.
