Pros

- Inclusive and dynamic culture where open discussion is welcomed and company-wide information sharing sessions are regularly held. - Wicked smart people who are always well informed and ready to share their perspective. This generally makes every decision better. - A technically diverse product portfolio so there is always something new to learn if you feel so inclined. - The get out there and do it attitude really shines through and help our customers be successful.

Cons

The diverse products and the product first philosophy means it’s sometimes difficult to tell a connected, more strategic, story across the business, both for sales and ultimately for customers.

Twilio Response

Thanks very much for your thoughtful feedback. Wearing the Customer's shoes is important for all of us as a north star, so glad you're experiencing this commitment. Telling a connected story across our product line is also essential and a constant goal for both Product and Sales. Happy to hear your input as well.

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?
