Great company

Pros

Great culture, lots of people with similar goals and interests, tools I need to do my job. Often find myself working for the fun of it rather than to keep management happy. Lots of room to move up here.

Cons

Too many people here expecting the world to bend to their whim. Twentitled being a commonly used word. Often working with so many smart people you can get issues with people not being willing to bend because they believe they are right. Often slow to fire problem employees.

Pros

-Challenging and interesting work in a Big Data environment -Collaboration is made easier by strong company values and friendly co-workers. There are some issues communicating across many locations -The company encourages a culture of learning and growth. There are classes and talks almost every day on various topics and most of them are available to remote employees via video streaming. -Great benefits including unlimited vacation time and free snacks/drinks. You get a good amount of t-shirts and other swag too.

Cons

The datacenter works on West Coast time, so the hours can be late. Many datacenter employees have to work one weekend day every other week as well.

Pros

- A product with lots of promise - A consumer brand with huge recognition - Awesome location, food, and culture

Cons

- Inexperienced management, specially the middle tier - Slow execution and too much politics - Promotion is hard to come by, unless you are one of those chosen ones - Having a hard time recruiting good candidates and so it is full of mediocre engineers and recent grads - Competition in social media space is getting tough and Twitter is not positioned to stay relevant for long due to the way it executes
