Great pay and benefits, but poor team leadership

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, extra company wide time off twice a year.

Cons

Twilio as a company has been good but my experience working with team leadership has been terrible. This is the least team like team I have ever been on in any situation. Our manager constantly signs up for projects so that we never have enough time for discussion or any kind of collaboration beside getting things done right now. Least understanding an empathetic leader I have had in my career and I don't mean that from a point of view of wanting anything special. I'm talking zero effort put into building relationships, the team, or considering anything beyond what's next on the work list. Everyone ambitious has left the team by finding another company to work for the last several years. I'm next.
