An unmitigated disaster

Pros

Before the acquisition, Twitter was an amazing place to work! Colleagues were all very bright and hard-working and there was a culture of collaboration and inclusion. Unfortunately, that company is gone now.

Cons

The company is now controlled by a thin-skinned megalomaniac billionaire who doesn’t know what he’s doing. He’s already destroyed the collaborative culture of Twitter. He constantly accuses employees of not working hard enough while they are pulling all-nighters to build his hair-brained product features that will not make Twitter more profitable. It’s sad to see a company with such potential implode. Avoid at all costs.

A cautionary tale

Pros

There is plenty to eat and be entertained by. Smart progressive colleagues. Easy commute in the city. Good work life balance. Cool products to work on.

Cons

During my 2 & 1/2 years at Twitter my team was reorg'd 5 times and was assigned a new manager on average every 3 or 4 months which made growth nearly impossible. However, after my second year and a lot of hard work I received a merit pay increase and promotion. The next quarter I was again reorg'd to a different team and given a 22% pay cut. My salary instantly became less than I was making before I joined the company. Shortly after discussing the financial hardships this was going to cause, reviewing my past accomplishments and performance reviews with the HRBP, my employment was terminated. Sidenote if you're a member of a minority group, run!

Highly political workplace; extremely transparent about some things so they can sweep other things under the rug.

Pros

Culture and colleagues make it a great place to come to work every day; there is definitely a strong sense of camaraderie and community.

Cons

Very political, middle management shuffles around almost monthly which makes it impossible for a unified game plan. Personal growth and career progression is almost always put on the back burner while politics shape the course of the org.
