Process
The interview went well for me, as everyone was friendly and helped whenever I got stuck. They really looked for people demonstrating Twilio's values. It wasn't stressful, but the build-up certainly was.

Pros: Really smart and friendly co-workers, good pay and benefits.
Cons: There have been many layoffs over the last couple of years, which made this a tough place for me to view as a place to have a "career". You can go above and beyond in your role, get great performance reviews, and then get laid off.
