Interviewing at Twilio, how is the culture like over there ? I am interviewing for a SRE role at Twilio, not sure of the team where the role is based. TC: 100k 🥜
It’s definitely not similar to Amazon, and like many other companies, is largely role/team-dependent. A large portion of the company has survived two rounds of layoffs and an endless stream of last-minute changes, which is probably not helping things.
Definitely sounds similar to Amazon then lol
Every mid cap is just hiring leadership that amazon pips. It's 🎶 the circle of life 🎶
What kind of role are you interviewing for?
I'd say it's team dependent but if you join my business unit I wish you the best of luck because it is awful in here
If you’re joining anything other than Segment, good luck to you
Op, a little more detail will help us in giving you more perspective.
Added on the comments
Segment is shit as well
The SRE team I work with is fantastic… best in my career by miles. But there are many SRE teams within the company, so can only speak for the one I am familiar with. Otherwise, it’s a mixed bag at best. WLB is generally good, but there’s no career pathing here, so no idea how to advance. Simply “working harder” doesn’t work as I’ve been busting my ass for years and going nowhere. I know lots of folks that have been stuck with no promos and meager raises for the last couple years. But it’ll be less of a soul sucking hell hole than Amazon is. But you are trading it for mostly rudderless leadership, so take from that what you will. FWIW, I’ll be leaving when the right opportunity comes along. Haven’t been happy here for the last couple years and do not see my situation improving at all.
Can pls I DM you for a referral? 🙏🏼
Yup. Same here. SRE I work with is amazing. I think there used to be a SRE team but may no longer exist at Segment. YMMV. Sadly, management though is truly rudderless.
I listened to a podcast on how i built this from the twilio founder and seemed like a goober
The CEO is a wannabe Bezos
Same haircut
Jeff is cool. Really down to earth. Spoke with me for an hour when I was a new grad.
heard it’s similar to amazon
Lol. Say no more.
Nah I wouldn’t say that. I worked at both. Amazon has PIP and Twilio doesn’t. Twilio has much more incompetent leaders. It’s a country club with a sprinkle of nepotism. Amazon is great but WLB sucks. Twilio’s WLB is average I would say.
