Pros

- brilliant, dedicated colleagues - interesting area of work

Cons

- leadership is an absolute abomination, has no empathy, and becomes increasingly detached from the workforce with every time they open their mouths - lack of transparency on decision making, l-team straight up lying about things - no accountability for l-team bs - lack of career options, goals and criteria for promotion are ever changing - reorg every 10 minutes, line managers changing every other week

Working for a European company takes some adjustment with time zone difference and working styles but it is easy to navigate.

Pros

Based on reviews, the company is up and coming and seems to have potential. People are really down to earth and seem to have fun...some times too much fun!

Cons

Lots of layers of leadership Can't trust HR - don't listen to all sides So many people from Twillio, the company should be called DeepL-Twillio
