Truly, the best decision of your career. - Recensione dipendente - Senior Product Manager presso SendGrid

- culture and people are amazing, they challenge you and push you to be the best version of yourself. - decision making process is astounding for a company of our size. Product, finance and engineering decisions are made in a very data-driven way. - Willing to discuss the hard topics and make the most informed decision. - Benefits are amazing, free lunch everyday is fantastic, i hope we don't lose this. - If you're motivated and willing to work hard, you can be recognized and tasked with more responsibility. I've seen many people grow their careers here and be promoted every year based on their performance and determination.

- typical pains related to integrating with Twilio after the acquisition in Feb of 2019. Most painful of which is the figuring out how we make decisions now as one larger company. (Twilio has less process / standard way to make decisions, SendGrid has a formalized process). - The general energy of the company is lower now after the Twilio acquisition – still positive but now that we're not a standalone, public company, there appears to be less control over our business (email, email marketing) destiny. - Culture of Twilio, while close to SendGrid's, is definitely different and will take some time to feel part of one

Intense focus on keeping the company's culture as we grow. That culture, based on our 4 H's (happy, humble, hungry, honest), ensures that the person sitting next to you is one whom you respect and enjoy working with. Senior leadership is world class and unusually transparent about what's going on. The vision is spot on and execution, which is already good, continually gets better. The environment is one in which each individual is empowered to make decisions in their area of expertise. One person can have a huge impact at SendGrid. The level of talent at this company is amazing and the problems we work on are challenging/fun. We have over 100k customers, more than 40k of which are paying customers. Our revenue is growing over 40% y/y and we have crossed through to profitability with an IPO on the horizon.

Hiring is slow, largely due to the focus on culture. It is really hard to find people who are exceptional at what they do AND who show their humble 'H' daily. As we grow, quick ad hoc processes and manual steps become a liability. Expect a lot of change as we continue to transition to a company that is more methodical. If you're willing to be an agent of that change, you'll do very well here. SendGrid was formerly very flat in its organizational structure but the recent growth has necessitated a more traditional management structure. This has led to some role confusion and general discomfort.
