Pluspunten

One of the best translators on the market, with excellent quality for key languages. However, the situation is chaotic to the point of being almost amusing to watch. The fake reviews from the Talent Acquisition team are also entertaining in their own way. Interestingly, this is the only company where employees are actually hoping for layoffs, which is quite unusual. Favoritism is prevalent; if you’re in the good books of certain C-levels or senior leaders, you can get away with almost anything—even inappropriate comments or disruptive behavior. If you’re a current or former employee and believe my review is fair and accurate, please give it a like.

Minpunten

Numerous operational challenges have persisted for years without being resolved, despite management’s awareness. Commissions are often not paid accurately, and the equity offered frequently falls short of what was promised during interviews. There is a significant pay gap between Account Executives hired this year and those from previous years. The company culture is poor, with subtle instances of racism and bullying observed in certain teams. Departments operate in silos, with inconsistent pacing and priorities and a lack of revenue-driven processes. While there are multiple internal surveys and discussions about making improvements, nothing meaningful changes. There is no accountability, and there’s a clear lack of processes, ideal customer profiles, and essential support for the sales team. Open, honest feedback tends to be met with retaliation. Overall, leadership seems uninterested, focused only on a quick exit strategy without acknowledging the time and commitment that real improvement requires.

Pluspunten

Geweldige samenwerking en teamomgeving. Iedereen is zo open en vriendelijk en bereid om een handje te helpen. Leuke en boeiende cultuur.

Minpunten

Werken voor een Europees bedrijf vergt enige aanpassing qua tijdsverschillen en werkstijlen, maar het is gemakkelijk om te navigeren.

Pluspunten

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!

Minpunten

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
