Pros

They offer free breakfast lunch and dinner

Cons

They require 10 hours work per day. Mandatory. And they do not make it clear in the hiring process at all.

At Telnyx, we do not have a mandatory number of hours for our employees. The average workweek is 50 hours, but we understand that individuals have outside commitments and that schedules can vary. That said, we do believe to win on a global scale, and build a revolutionary communications platform, we will not only have to outsmart our competitors, but also outwork them. In exchange for people's time, we offer several perks that give our employees more free time during the week. We also tend to be more flexible than most companies. For example, we currently have two engineers working remotely for a month to visit their loved ones abroad. We realize that startups are not for everyone. It takes a person who derives satisfaction from and is passionate about their work, who has the ability to take calculated risks, and who is gritty enough to dig in when confronted with a challenge in order to succeed here.

Pros

Remote work, but there is no limit to what management keeps demanding, the nonstop changes forced on us, and the ridiculous expectations pushed every day.

Cons

Just like I said, management's demands never stop. Remote work becomes completely pointless because you are forced to go on-site almost all the time! It feels even more exhausting when you expect to stay home, then suddenly get dragged out and forced to report on-site.

We welcome honest feedback from current and former employees, including critical perspectives. However, we believe transparency matters, and this review contains multiple factual inconsistencies that prevent us from verifying it as originating from an actual employee experience. Telnyx has not employed a "Junior Security Operations Analyst" within our US operations, we do not operate an office in Austin, Texas, and employees in comparable roles are not required to work on-site as described. Our teams operate in a highly technical, fast-paced, and flexible environment with access to modern infrastructure, strong engineering resources, and remote collaboration tools. We remain focused on building a culture centered around ownership, impact, and continuous growth.
