Pros

People - The people are extremely passionate at Twitter. M&A - There are some extremely talented folks and teams who have been acquired.

Cons

Senior Leadership - Lacks vision to execute, constantly changes direction, inexperienced and constantly in turnover. The executive team is extremely risk averse. Middle Management - The death of the company. There are hundreds of middle managers at the company who add no value. Culture - There is a heavy sales culture at the company that promotes drinking heavily. Excessive drinking would appear to be a requirement to work here. Corporate - The company has become extremely corporate, with perks being removed on a weekly basis. There is an over obsession with wall-street.

Pros

The food, some of the people, somewhat cool product with niche market.

Cons

Lack of product vision and inability to make effective, bold decisions without reams of data (a.k.a lack of commons sense). This place is full of bureaucrats and needs to be pared back another 10-20%. Not sure how the leadership let the employee population grow beyond its means but it clearly is a case of inept functional leaders. Don't be one of unfortunate victims of a future layoff. Look at other companies with more solid business models and effective leadership. This place is full of bureaucrats who make life miserable for the entrepreneurial folks in the company.
