Pros

Fast-paced, fun place to work. The people that work here are amazing! Our environment thrives on reciprocation of employees teaching and learning from each other. I am empowered to make the decisions needed to help make an impact on the company. I've worked in the tech recruiting industry for 8+ years and Twitter is by far my favorite place I've worked so far!

Cons

Need to be able to think quickly on your feet because of how fast pace and dynamic the environment is here. I personally think this is a great way to learn. This is the type of place where you dive right in and learn as you go. Certain internal processes and systems are constantly changing so patience and perseverance are key as we continue to grow.

Pros

Perks, Benefits, Flexible hours, Friendly staff. Very casual environment but people want you to succeed. Meetings are short and you have to be on point and direct. People seek feedback and want your feedback. The benefits are similar to other tech companies and comparable. And of course, the food is amazing.

Cons

Not understanding of growth Transparency on career development Leveling within the department is skewed and unfair
