Pros

- Twitter has an inspiring and an unparalleled product, and there is still so much unrecognized potential that I genuinely look forward to seeing unfold. I still love the product, the platform, and the greater Twitter ecosystem from employees to exec team to advertisers, and end-users. - Great benefits and work/life balance - Despite the criticism, I also think Jack is an amazing leader, and a human being.

Cons

I would recommend joining Twitter, but stay far, far away from the Finance team if you want to experience career growth. - Middle and upper management lacks strategic vision. - Favoritism and corporate politics is proudly displayed by management - Lack of career growth and promotion opportunities if you're not favored - Compensation is not competitive compared to the industry - Ineffective org structure - Some teams are much too bloated while others struggle to stay afloat. (Favorites get all the headcount) - Everything I mentioned in the pro section does not compensate for the cons when you feel your efforts are not valued.

Pros

The company offers good benefits and company wide perks.

Cons

The Finance and Accounting department suffers from favoritism, nepotism, and poor leadership. Promotions and opportunities appear to be driven more by personal relationships than by performance, contributions, or expertise. The Accounting Controller demonstrates biased and unprofessional leadership, which has created a culture of low accountability and poor morale. High performers are often overlooked while favored individuals continue to advance despite limited contributions. The department relies heavily on outdated and manual processes that create inefficiencies and unnecessary work. There seems to be little urgency to modernize systems or improve operations. The culture also tolerates underperformance, with inconsistent expectations and accountability across team members. This can be frustrating for employees who value merit, professionalism, and continuous improvement.
