Pros

Culture, Benefits, Challenging work, perks, etc. There are always exciting things to work on unlike Facebook and Google which are too big and too specialized.

Cons

Location in SF is a bit sketchy but once you’re in Twitter, it’s amazing. That’s about it. Great place to be.

Pros

The company CULTURE breeds innovation and self expression. I have always been encouraged to use the platform as myself and not hold back. That says a lot about a company and leadership. Communicate Fearlessly to Build Trust is a core value we live by. They are always offering TRAINING in various areas from job skills to life skills, giving us the opportunity to grow beyond the core responsibilities of our role. I've been promoted a number of times over my 5 years and every time I felt fully prepared to accomplish my new goals and start finding new ones. WORK/LIFE BALANCE is a true focus here. My teammates and I don't do well at our jobs because we put in the most hours. We do well because when we are at work love what we do, but we know we can leave at the end of the day and focus on the other parts of our lives that refresh us.

Cons

You're in the spotlight as the employee of a company that is seen, heard and talked about everywhere. That means you will get a lot of question, and even more so, have to hear a lot of outside opinions on how the company should do things... including from the driver of every rideshare you get in if you let slip where you work. This can be a con from time to time, but often it is a pro once you talk things out with the latest opinion provider.

Pros

Great engineering culture - regular hackweeks, every engineer's voice is heard.

Cons

Lack of respect for managers. Talented engineers who feel entitled, but lack wisdom and experience. Lack of product vision. Twitter continues to be a very unintuitive product that is difficult to understand and use for many people.
