Pros

Great perks including full menu of remote work options, unlimited PTO, monthly "days of rest" and meeting-free focus weeks, exceptionally talented and committed people, and you'll be working on an unparalleled and unique mission with significant implications for the health of society across the globe.

Cons

1) Elon Musk is buying it, maybe. There is zero clarity about what the company will be and what roles and skills will be in demand or on the chopping block if the deal closes and Twitter becomes a private company. 2) This company operates in the glare of public scrutiny like no other, literally all decisions are subject to intense debate and second-guessing from millions of people with scant context of the challenges involved in managing a social media platform at the scale and speed of Twitter. 3) There may not ever be as big a business here as Wall St. wants, management has been twisting itself into pretzels trying to figure out how to increase growth and revenue with only modest progress to date, and a lot of it boils down to trying to be less like Twitter and more like competitors like TikTok. 4) Teams, org structures and goals are in constant flux, providing little continuity for people on the front lines.

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 The department relies heavily on outdated and manual processes that create inefficiencies and unnecessary work.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.
